Search by multiple properties
You can also search by several properties at once.
The search results will contain the intersection of results based on all specified properties.

For example:
Find all VMware VMs that start with "NG" and have the tag "development"

We currently support searching by

• Regular Expression
• IP Address
• WWN
• MAC Addresses
• Tags and Tag Categories
• Technology (device type)
• Volume ID
• Health Status

Some properties require text input, such as IP address, WWN, LUN ID, RegEx.
Others offer a list of options to choose from.
In this case, autocomplete (searching by typed characters) works.
