ID: 0561 Title: quicksearch: now able to search with multiple filters Component: Multisite Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i1 The classical quicksearch allowed certain filter prefixes, which specified the item to look for. For example: <ul> <li>h: {search_text} # Find hostname, host_address or hostalias</li> <li>s: {search_text} # Find service</li> <li>hg: {search_text} # Find hostgroup</li> <li>sg: {search_text} # Find servicegroup</li> </ul> The new search feature enhances the service search.<br> You can now combine these filters to thin out the results.<br> For example: C+: s: mem h: localhost C-: This will search for all services containing <tt>mem</tt> on the localhost. Furthermore you can combine these filters. C+: s: mem s: cpu h: localhost h: switch-intern C-: This will search for all services containing <tt>mem</tt> <b>OR</b> <tt>cpu</tt> on the hosts <tt>localhost</tt> <b>OR</b> <tt>switch-intern</tt>. The search algorhytm is as follow: <ul> <li>Same filters are combined with <tt>OR</tt></li> <li>Different filters are combined with <tt>AND</tt></li> </ul> The query <tt>h: localhost s: mem s: cpu h:switch-intern</tt> actually results in the following livestatus query: C+: GET services Cache: reload Columns: service_description host_name hostgroups servicegroups Filter: host_name ~~ switch-intern Filter: host_name ~~ localhost Or: 2 Filter: service_description ~~ cpu Filter: service_description ~~ mem Or: 2 And: 2 Limit: 80 C-: You can also add the <tt>hg:</tt> and <tt>sg:</tt> filters to the query.<br> <b>Note:</b> Right now, this multisearch filter only works if at least one of the filters is a service (<tt>s:</tt>).
