Working with simple searches

Simple searches are one of the three types of searches you can perform from the HCP Search Console. A simple search is based solely on word matching. You can specify multiple words or phrases to search for, and you can use wildcards to find more matches. Simple searches do not support the use of metadata as search criteria.

This chapter provides instructions for performing simple searches. It explains the rules for specifying the search criteria and the options that determine whether objects are included in the search results. It also includes several examples.

Once you have the results of a simple search, you can filter and export them. For information on these activities, see Working with search results. You can also save the search criteria as a reusable query. For information on saving search criteria, see Working with saved queries.

Note: When the metadata query engine is active, the Simple Search page is called the Simple Query page and simple searches are called simple queries.
