Search
Global search lets you find matches across all of your hosts, groups and templates in a single place. Use it to jump directly to what you are looking for without browsing each list in turn.
Using global search
Open global search at /search. As you type, results appear instantly and update with each keystroke, so you can refine your query until you find the right match.
- Go to
/search. - Start typing the name of a host, group or template.
- Review the matching results, which are grouped by type.
- Select a result to open it directly.
When there are many matches, results are paginated. Use the pagination controls to move through additional pages.
Global search versus list filters
Global search is different from the search boxes on the Hosts, Groups and Templates pages:
- Global search (
/search) looks across all hosts, groups and templates at once. - List search boxes filter only the list you are currently viewing. For example, the search box on the Hosts page filters that list of hosts only.
Tip
Use a per-list search box when you are already on a page and want to narrow that list. Use global search when you are not sure where something lives or want to move quickly between different types of items.
Common tasks
- Jump to a host by name when you know what you are looking for but not where it is.
- Find a group to review or update its members.
- Locate a template before applying it to a host.
