Query Builder

You can perform the advanced search in the Query Builder in any of the following three ways:

  • Search Text: Enter a free-text search term in the Search Text field to retrieve the matching results, encompassing all data columns of the appliance list. You can refine or broaden the search by using certain special characters in combination with the search term.

  • Add Filters: Apply column filters as search parameters, such as Appliance Model, Version, SRS Score and so on. Use the Add Filter drop-down to add or remove filters for a more tailored search.

    Any combination of filters can be applied at the same time. You can show or hide the filters by clicking on the Show / Hide Filters icon.

  • Combine the text search and the filters: Use the combination of the free-text search and column filters for even more accurate results.
