Searching for Objects

You can use the following options for your searches.

OR
To search for content that contains one of the search words, use the operator OR in capital letters.For example, to search for either 'cheese' or 'cake', use the phrase

cheese OR cake

AND
To search for content that contains all search words, use the operator AND in capital letters.For example, to search for both 'cheese' and 'cake', use the phrase

cheese AND cake

Wildcard search

Single character
To replace a single character, use a question mark (?)as a wildcard. For example, to search for 'cap', 'cat' or ‘can', use the phrase

c?n

Multiple characters
To replace multiple characters, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. For example, to search for 'chick', 'coconut', or 'chickpea', use the phrase

c*c

Searching by object ID

To search for objects by object ID, use the phrase id: <objectid>. For example, to find the object ID 123, use the phrase

id: 1232

Searching by object ID supports wildcard search. For example, the phrase

id: 123*

will return objects with IDs 1232, 12324, etc.

Grouping and combining search terms

You can use any combination of search terms together. For example:

c*c?

will return 'chick' but not 'chickpea'

To search for content that must contain 'flavor' but can contain either 'chocolate' or 'vanilla', use brackets to group the search terms:

(chocolate OR vanilla) AND flavor

You can also combine various search terms, for example:

o?tag* AND ("blog" AND "post")
