Search for

The Search For panel is different for each search tool, and is to be used to narrow down a search.
In these fields, the characters * or % can be used as wildcards.

WQL

WQL is a free-search field, where additional search criteria’s can be specified.

The text in this field must comply with the WQL syntax, which is a SQL-like syntax. The text that is entered in this field is added as a part of the WHERE clause in the WQL statement that is generated, when a search is started.


Device filter

With this field, one can specify which computers to search.

The character * or ? can be used as wildcards, where * represents one or more characters, and ? is a wildcard for a single character. See Table 1 below for examples.

Device filter	Description
*	All computers are searched
*server	All computers that have a name that ends with server are searched
?server	All computers that have a name that ends with server, and starts with a single character are searched - for instance aserver, but not a_server
pc*	All computers that have a name that starts with pc are searched
com?u?er	For instance, computers named computer, comxu3er and com1u_er are searched but not computter or computers

Separate multiple computers by a , (comma) or a ; (semicolon)
