Type any word or phrase in the text search and you’ll get results based on all selected object fields. If the text box turns green, that means you’ve created a valid advanced filter expression.

Gotcha’s
- You can also use parentheses to create more complex searches like here: (title ~ PCI OR title ~ ISO) AND description ~ “needs to be”
- Filters are case insensitive (example:title is the same as Title or TITLE)
- AND has precedence over OR
- Every time space (“ “) character is part of search phrase or filter expression you need to use quotes (“modified date” > 03/03/2015 AND “control title” ~ PCI)
- Compatible date formats are MM/DD/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD
