Search discovered devices

Use
Discovery
 to search for a device to determine its location. After the initial discovery of the network topology, you can use filters to limit the scope of the search.
When using search, take a note of these functional details:
  • Search only examines devices detected or viewed by the browser. Initiating a search will not cause the browser to discover a new device.
  • Search queries can contain alphanumeric characters, full words, compound expressions, fragments of a word, or a single letter or number.
  • Search includes predefined search criteria to filter search results by device, name, path, and IP address.
  • Enclose search queries in quotation marks to find exact matches.
  • Use operators in the search query to refine the search results using a logical statement.
    • AND
        to search for two or more keywords.
    • OR
       to search for several keywords.
      TIP:
      An example of using operators between keywords to refine search results is:
      Device: 1756-L OR Device: 1768-L
      This search locates both ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers.
  • Clear the search query to return to the network topology tree view.
