Performing a Quick Search

The Quick Search Bar allows you to execute a simple, single attribute search.

To perform a simple search:

1. From the Attribute List, select a search attribute. Alternatively, enter a new one, for example, ou, cn.

Note: Any changes or additions to this list are saved when JXplorer shuts down.

2. From the Operator List, select the matching relationship for your search:

Operator	Meaning	Example
=	Exact match	sn=marten will return all entries with a surname of marten.
~=	Fuzzy match	sn~=marten will return all entries with a surname that sounds like marten, for example, martin, martinez.
>=	Starting from	sn>=w will return all entries starting with w, and any subsequent letter of the alphabet, for example, Watts, Wittle, Yates.
<=	Up to	sn<=b will return all entries up to b, for example, Anderson, Ash, B. Note this does not return entries starting with b, and followed by other letters.
!(=)	Not equal	title!(=)secretary will return all entries with a title other than secretary.

3. Enter the search criteria in the Search Term text box.

Note: Use * as a wild card, for example, if you enter sn=smi*, the search will return all entries that start with smi.

4. Click the Quick Search button.
