USING GLOBAL SEARCH

Last updated 5 September, 2024

Infoblox Platform provide a global search function that allows you to look up
specific resources or objects. The global search icon is located at the upper
right-hand corner of Infoblox Portal. You can search by entering full or partial
text of the resource you want to look up. Global search returns the top three
most relevant results by matching the key word(s) you enter. If you cannot find
the resource in the top results, you can click VIEW ALL RESULTS to view all
possible matches and apply filters to narrow down the search.

NOTE
COPY LINK

You can search for supported objects using searchable fields. For a list of
supported objects, see the Supported Objects and Searchable Fields section
below.

To perform a global search, complete the following:

1. On Infoblox Portal, click the global search icon at the upper right-hand
corner.

2. The Global Search dialog displays your recent search entries.

3. In the Global Search field, enter the full or partial text of the resource
you are looking for. You can click Clear to clear the entry.

4. The Global Search dialog displays the top three most relevant results with
highlighted text of your entry. You can do the following in the dialog:

* If there are more than three search results and you cannot locate the
resource you are looking for in the top list, click Exact Matches to view all
search results that match your entry or click Related Results to view
relevant results. You can also apply filters to narrow down your search. The
search result dialog displays the total number of objects found in each
object category. You can select the checkbox of the specific object category
and click Apply to narrow down your search. For example, if you are looking
for a fixed address that contains the word "test" in its name, you can select
the "Fixed Address" checkbox to locate the object(s). You can also click
Clear to clear the filers.

* Click the breadcrumb of the discovered object to access the location of the
object. The prefix of the breadcrumb indicates the specific tab to which the
object belongs on the Infoblox Portal.

* Click

next to the object to view its details in the respective editor. You can also
modify applicable fields directly in the editor.

* Tags for the object are displayed in the search result if the tag name or
value matches the search entry. If one or more tags are defined for the
object, you can click View All Tags to display them. Correspondingly, when
the tags are displayed, you can click Hide All Tags to hide them, with the
exception of tags that match the search entry. Tag/value pairs are delimited
by the separator, “|”. Note that the tag name is blue, and the value is
green.

* Click

at the upper right hand corner to close the Global Search dialog.

APPLYING FILTERS TO GLOBAL SEARCH
COPY LINK

If you are unable to quickly identify the resource you are looking for, you can
apply filters to the returned results. To locate a specific resource or narrow
your search, you can apply available filters when they appear in the dialog
after you click VIEW ALL RESULTS. All available filters appear in the left panel
of the Global Search dialog.

To apply filters to global search, complete the following:

1. In the Global Search dialog, click VIEW ALL RESULTS.

2. Review the list of available object categories and choose the applicable
categories that can help you identify the resource. You can click Select all
to choose all the filtering parameters under a specific category. Global
search uses the "OR" operation when you select multiple filters. To clear
the selection, click Clear.

3. After you have chosen the applicable filtering categories, click Apply
Filter. All matching results are displayed in the right panel.

NOTE
COPY LINK

To close the Global Search dialog in the VIEW ALL RESULTS mode, click the BACK
button at the top left of the dialog.

GLOBAL SEARCH QUERY SYNTAX
COPY LINK

Infoblox global search supports a specific syntax and handles search query based
on the supported syntax. Understanding the query syntax helps you look up
resources in a more effective manner. The following table describes how global
search handles query syntax:

Syntax

Query Handling

Syntax

Query Handling

Wildcard (*) search

Global search treats all characters you enter as literals. When you enter a key
word in the search field, global search automatically escapes all reserved
characters and adds a wildcard character before and after the key word, except
for IPv4 addresses and dates. For example, if you want to find resources that
contain the string sta, just enter sta rather than sta*, *sta, or *sta*. Global
search will add the wildcard character (*) and perform the search for *sta*.

IPv4 addresses

When you enter a full or partial string of an IPv4 address, global search
returns IPv4 addresses that match the entry. For example, if you enter 192.168,
global search returns all IPv4 addresses that contain the partial string of
192.168. If you enter 192.168.30.40, global search returns all resources that
contain the IPv4 address in them. Note that global search does not add the
wildcard characters to IPv4 addresses.

Date format

Global search supports this date format: YYYY-MM-DD. For example, you can enter
2021-01-10 and global search returns all resources that were created or updated
on the date of 2021-01-10. Note that global search does not add the wildcard
characters to date entries in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Regex and reserved characters

Global search treats all characters you enter as literals before adding the
wildcard characters to them. For example, if you enter -status, global search
looks for resources that contain -status by searching for *-status*. The
reserved character - will be escaped instead of being treated as an exclusion.

Reserved characters include the following:

\ + - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ ~ * ?
: / and the whitespace character

The double quote characters ("")

Global search treats all entries within the double quote characters ("") as one
single string. For example, if you enter "system* 123", global search looks up
resources that contain the string "system* 123" by searching *"system* 123"*.

The space or whitespace character

Global search treats all entries between the space or whitespace characters as
separate strings. For example, if you enter the following: && active \OR stat
AND 192.168.10.20 2021-01-10 [2020-02-20], global search returns resources that
contain any of the following using the OR operation:

*&&*

*active*

*\OR*

*stat*

*AND*

192.168.10.20

2021-01-10

*[2020-02-20]*

Logical operations

In this release, global search applies only the logical OR operation while
handling multiple strings. If you include multiple strings or entries in your
search, global search uses the OR operation to perform the search. For example,
if you enter baremetal 192.168, global search considers baremetal and 192.168 as
separate strings and returns all resources that contain baremetal, as well as
resources that contain 192.168, which can match any IPv4 addresses that
contain 192.168.

CHANGING NUMBER OF RESULTS ON A PAGE
COPY LINK

The Global Search dialog can display up to 25 results per page by default. If
the search results exceed 25, you can click the page number at the bottom
right-hand corner to advance to the next page. You can also change the number of
results per page to 50 or 100, so you can scroll down to view more results.

To change the number of results, complete the following:

* In the Global Search dialog, select the number of results at the bottom left
corner of the dialog.
