# Search

This page describes Admin Search.  See [Tree Search](/getting-started/useful-information/searching.md) for an alternative method.

Simply describe what you are looking for in plain English and the results show just the matching items.&#x20;

**Search term:** enter a string of characters, for example, AB123 will find uukAB123 and xab123txy. Searches are not case-sensitive. Then click the Search button (or use the Return key).

The search term will be compared against the name, the description (if available) and the email address (for users only). You can also search on the device IP address, reference, product type and interface for watches.

Jump straight to any match in the hierarchy.&#x20;

Search across a wide range of attributes, not just names: what something is, how it is configured, and its current state.&#x20;

Combine searches with semi-colon delimited conditions such as *dormant watches; watches with an upstream of > 100MB; cameras*.&#x20;

You can also save the searches you run most often and recall them in a click.\
\
Searches returning "No results" are logged and reviewed to see if the search function can be improved. &#x20;

A bar appears under the search criteria showing the total items found and to indicate the results list below is filtered.\
Clear search returns the search criteria to default values.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.highlight.net/admin/admin-general-details/search.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
