How to use the search in fylr

Sources

A fylr search with an open sources menu, the filtering options for object types and pools are not expanded.

Select the object types and pools you want to search in the current session.

Tipp: use CMD+click to quickly de/select all object types or pools

To see object types in the select list, the search option needs to be enabled for the object type in the datamodel.

Search Syntax

fylr uses a common layout of search operators to allow users to apply different search strategies to their queries.

The following examples will test a simple text field with the content "My cat is the best".

Wildcard operators

• cat (without any syntax)

• "cat"

• *cat*

They all deliver the same result, because those search enclose the query with the * wildcards under the hood. We can delimit our search by a * wildcard:

• *cat*best* finds our sentence

• cat*best uses the same search, also finds our sentence

Exact Search

• 'cat' searches for exact, full matches, delimited by spaces.

• doesn't not find 'catalogue'

• does find the example sentence

Searching with Backticks matches against the entire text fields content and will deliver only results for full matches.

• only `my cat is the best` would result in our sentence

All these strategies can be applied by just typing into the search bar and clicking on a suggested syntax, this will update the search result with the typed term using the selected technique.
