How to Search in GigaVUE‑FM
When searching for items, GigaVUE‑FM performs a full search across multiple categories and displays the categories as part of the results. A Filter option is also available, which displays as a quick view, making it possible to quickly refine the search results.
GigaVUE‑FM has an Elastic Search feature that allows you to search for information in GigaVUE‑FM as well all the devices and device configurations managed by GigaVUE‑FM. Essentially, if it is part of the GigaVUE-FM UI or managed by GigaVUE‑FM, you can search for items based on keywords because almost all items are indexed for elastic search. The search feature allows you to search for items across the following:

This provides an automatic filtering of the keyword, helping to narrow your search. Some of the general categories are:
You can refine the search categories by using the Filter feature (refer to Filtering Search Results) to further narrow the search results. For example, if the search keyword falls into the GigaSMART category, you can narrow the search further to NetFlow Records.
