Object Explorer supports search across all objects and their properties. To help you find what you need, this page describes search syntax for the global search bar.
By default, individual words entered into the search bar will be searched for independently of each other. For example, searching yellow cab will return all objects with property values that match either yellow or cab.
This behavior can be altered using quotation marks. Searching Object Explorer for "yellow cab" will return all objects that have the exact phrase yellow cab in one or more property values. Searching for phrases like this will typically yield fewer results than searching for individual words.
The operators AND and OR can be used to enhance text search in Object Explorer. For example, to search for taxi rides that involve both Manhattan and Brooklyn, one could search for Manhattan AND Brooklyn.
Similarly, to search for taxi rides that involve either Manhattan or Brooklyn, one could search for Manhattan OR Brooklyn.
Phrases created using quotation marks can also be incorporated into a search. For example, "yellow cab" AND Manhattan is a valid expression.
Logical operators can also be structured into more complex expressions using parentheses. For example, this search returns objects which reference Manhattan and either yellow or green cabs: ("yellow cab" OR "green cab") AND Manhattan
?: A question mark can be used to replace a single character
qu?ck would return results for quick, quack, qu4ck, and so on*: An asterisk can be used to replace zero or more characters
bro* would return results for bro, brother, broadcasting, and so onIt is not possible to search Object Explorer for terms with a "leading wildcard", meaning a term that begins with ? or *. If you need to perform queries of this kind, consider using an alternative tool such as Contour.
Use the ~ operator at the end of a search term to perform a "fuzzy" match for similar terms in addition to exact matches. For example, quikc~ would return results for quick and quack.
