Using Unified Search
The Unified Search feature allows you use the toolbar search field to search for business entities as well as search for menu items. See Unified Search in the User Interface Standard Features section for more information about the general use of the unified search field.
In Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management and Oracle Utilities Meter Solution Cloud Service, the Unified Search field allows searching by a service point's address (Address), a usage subscription's contact (Name), or a meter’s badge number (Badge Number) or serial number (Serial Number).
You can use the following filters to indicate your specific search criteria:
Filter
Filter Rule
Address
One or more numeric characters followed by space and an alphanumeric character
Name
Minimum of 5 characters excluding whitespaces
Badge Number
Minimum of 5 characters excluding whitespaces
Serial Number
Minimum of 5 characters excluding whitespaces
For example, to search for a service point located at 1401 Flower Street, you could enter “1401 Flower”.
To search explicitly using a specific filter, precede the filter value with one of the following predefined hints:
Filter
Hint
Example
Address
ad: 
ad:1401 Flower
Name
n: 
n:Smith, J
Badge Number
bn:

Examples:
• To search for a service point located at 1401 Flower Street, you could enter "ad:1401 Flower" (hint) or “1401 Flower” (no hint)
• To search for a person named John Smith, you could enter "n:Smith, J" (hint) or “Smith,J” (no hint)
