Using advanced search

The advanced search feature enables you to search for servers, resellers, organizations, users, and specific services and their properties at a more granular level than the search. It enables you to refine the scope of your search.

To use advanced search:

  1. In the Search area on the left navigation panel, click Advanced Search. The Advanced Search page opens.

  2. In the Choose Search Categories section, specify the scope of the search.

  3. Service. The list of services on which a search operation can be invoked.

  4. Note: The term platform represents the following objects: servers, resellers, organizations, and users. When you select platform, the above objects are searched on the platform-specific properties specified in the Type field.

  5. Type. The list of service properties defined for a service. The list of service properties displayed depends on the service selected in the Service box. For example, if you want to locate a distribution list example.com in Hosted Exchange, the service property that you would select is Distribution Lists.

  1. In the Find results containing text box, type the search keyword.

  2. Do not use wild card characters such as * or ? to symbolize unspecified or unknown characters in a search keyword. The search operation does not expand these characters to include a set of characters but interprets them as any other character in a search keyword.

  1. Click Go. The search results are displayed.
