Advanced Search
Use the advanced search to filter and refine a search so you don’t get too many irrelevant results.
Applying a filter means that you set up rules that specify what kind of objects are relevant to the search. These rules can be based on object types and object properties.
Wildcard Search
You can use wildcards in both Simple search and Advanced search. Use wildcards to substitute characters or combinations of characters in a search.
Search supports three wildcards:
Asterisk (*) represents any combination of characters including white space. * must be used if the text string you search for contains white space. For example, if you want to search for object names as "temperature setpoint" or "setpoint office" make sure that you use "*" in the end or in the beginning of the word "setpoint".
Question mark (?) represents any single character.
Square brackets “[]” search for all characters that stands inside the brackets.
For example, if you want to find all objects and properties containing the word “Temperature”, you start the search with an asterisk so that the search includes all hits on objects like “Outside Air Temperature” where the asterisk represents the words before "Temperature", in this case, “Outside Air”. You also have to end the search text with an asterisk to include objects like “Temperature Alarm” where the asterisk represents the word after "Temperature", in this case “Alarm”.
If you search on [a,b]*, you find all objects that begins with an a or a b.
You can also search on objects that start with numbers using square brackets. For example, a search on [0-9]* finds all objects that starts with a number. A search on [1,2,3]* finds all objects that starts with 1, 2, or 3.
The Search box can never be empty. To perform a search, you have to enter something in the Search box. If you want to search for all objects in a folder, enter an asterisk (*).
Object Types Search
You can select the object types that you want to include in the search. If you do not select a type, all types are included. For example, if you want to search on all graphics containing bindings named "temperature" you include only graphics in the search. A search without the object type graphics selected results in a list with all objects, such as values, graphics, and alarms named "temperature".
Properties Conditions Search
You can set conditions on object properties that you want to include in the search.

Setpoint Search Example
You want to search for all setpoints , that are over 22, in all offices. You know that all setpoint are marked “setpoint” in some way, such as “office setpoint”, “setpoint office”, and “temperature setpoint”. When the search is done, you want to save the search so that you can use it again without making all settings for objects and conditions.
