Named fields
Named fields provide a mechanism to search over the specific attributes
associated with virtual machines, hosts, data stores, clusters, and applications.
Named fields operate as facets do, by adding attribute filters to the search
language. You can enter named fields by specifying the exact property to target in
the search. Searches for named fields use the following syntax:
CI_TYPE.PROPERTY.SUB_PROPERTY:VALUE
The CI_TYPE can be one of the following:
l vm = Virtual Machine
l host = Host Server
l cluster = Cluster
l datastore = Datastore
