ThinManage 3.1 Administration Manual
Searches
There is a search box located near the top right-hand corner of the ThinManage Administration screen.
Simply start typing whatever you are looking for into the search box. As you begin typing each character, the items shown
on the page narrow to only those that incorporate what you have typed so far. It is like using a search engine but with
instant feedback.
You can type in multiple words and only items that contain all words will be shown. You can narrow down to particular
fields. For example to match lab, but only in the location field, use location:lab. You should quickly be able to find
whatever you want to look at.
Quoting
Place double quotes around items that contain spaces. For example "john smith". Backslashes can also be
used to escape various characters.
Attributes
To limit a match to particular attributes, use a prefix of the attribute name, followed by a colon. For example, you
can type manufacturer:ibm to find all items with IBM as the manufacturer. Every item has a type. For example,
to limit to results to only hosts, type :host. If you type in only the attribute name and a colon, then only items with
that field and a value for it are shown. For example ip-address: will show all items that have an ip address.
Exact match
Search looks for any part of a string matching. For example if you search for lab then it will match laboratory and
collaborate. If you want an exact match then put a plus sign in. For example +lab will only match exactly lab. It will
also be case sensitive (matches are normally case insensitive).
To specify an exact match with an attribute put the + before the attribute such as +name:lab. If your term needs
quoting then put it inside the quotes such as "+name:lab 20".
Not
Use a minus sign to exclude items. For example to exclude any reference to John, use -john
Or
If you type multiple words then all of them must be found in an entry (conceptually there is an AND between each
word). You can specify one of (or) by using OR (must be in upper case). For example john OR jane finds items
with john or jane in them.
Grouping and complex queries
You can use parentheses around words to group them for more complex queries.
For example, ((a b) OR -(c d)) OR e.
