Search current page
To limit the number of items that are displayed in the page list, you can search the list.
- Input the search item in the search field in the Search & Filters panel.
The default search will match the search string if it occurs anywhere in the search fields. For example, the search te searches for test, text, and enter.
An updated list is generated as the search term is input in the Search field.
Wildcard searches
You can use wildcard characters to search for words that match a specified pattern.
Wildcard search terms can contain an asterisk (*) for multiple characters, or a question mark (?) for single characters.
