Conditions for Searching Text in the Search Box

You can perform the wildcard search by specifying the required text as follows:

• To search for Ids, type in the ID (Incident ID, SR ID, CR ID, CI ID, and so on) in the search box.
• To get search results related to a single word throughout the Application, type in the word in the search box. Example: If you specify the word Request in the search box, the word Request is searched throughout the Application and the search results are displayed group-wise. If the word is part of a menu, the menu is displayed with a hyperlink, by clicking on which you can access the related page.
• To get specific search results of a word or group of words, type in the word(s) with inverted commas. Example: If you want to search for the report Rejected Request Report, specify the text "Rejected Request Report" in the search box.
• To get search results related to a Module without selecting the check boxes, type in the Module and the Sub-Module separated by a semicolon(;). Example: If you want to search for Incident, specify the text Incident;Service in the search box.
• To do a wildcard search, type a part of a text using inverted commas and asterisk. Example: If you want to search for the word Software, specify "Softw*" in the search box.
• Search two or more words with OR condition. Example: Service or Closed or Summit/ "Service " OR "Closed " OR “Summit”. Based on the selected options, all the records are displayed with search results containing the words Service, Closed, and Summit.
• Search two or more words with AND condition. Example: Service AND Closed. Based on the selected options, all the records are displayed with search results containing the words Service and Closed. Every single search result will contain both the words, Service and Closed.
• If Menu check box is selected, the search criteria displays all the keywords from the menu like Incident, Request, Asset, CMDB, and so on. For Example, if you search for Discovery in the search box, all the menus with Discovery keyword will be displayed.
