Typed in the Filter Field Results

Entering a string displays a filtered list of items that contain the ‘word’ (that is, it

will find matching strings that are followed by anything other than a letter or num-

ber). For example, typing emailwill list any items that contain the string email, fol-

lowed by a space or punctuation mark. If you enter multiple words separated by

spaces but without logical operators, OR is assumed, and each word is treated

separately. For example, typing email server will display items containing

email or server.

"<String>"

Surrounding the string with quotation marks displays a filtered list of items con-

taining the exact string, including spacing and punctuation. For example, typing

"email server” will display items that contain email server. The Rack Power

Manager software will provide a closing quotation mark if it is omitted.

Using the AND logical operator displays the items that contain both strings. For

example, typing email and server will display items named email-server-3,

email-server-2, server email and so on.

Using the OR logical operator displays the items that contain at least one of the

strings. For example, typing email or server will find any items that contain

the string email or the string server.

(<String>)

Parentheses may be used to override the default (left to right) order of pre-

cedence during evaluation of a filter string. For example, searching for email

and server or service would be the equivalent of ((email and server) or ser-

vice), which may not be the intended search. The user may choose instead to

change the order of precedence by grouping the search terms with par-

entheses, such as (email) and (server or service).

NOT <String>

Preceding the string with NOT displays all items that do not contain the string.

For example, typing not email will display all items except those containing

email (email, email server, email-server-1 and so on will not display).
