Search shortcuts and tips
Use search operators to narrow your searchSearch for user accounts based on other criteria or narrow down your search by using any of the following operators. Enter an operator, followed by an equal (=) sign and your search text.
| Operator | Finds users... | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| domain | In a specific domain | domain=example.com |
| Whose email addresses match your search text | email=rob@example.com | |
| givenName | Whose first names match your search text | givenName=rob |
| familyName | Whose last names match your search text | familyName=smith |
Tip: Searches can return group accounts, too. If you use search operators, however, you must include the email operator to return any group results, as in email=marketing.
Enter two or more search operators to narrow your search even further.
| Example | Finds users... |
|---|---|
| domain=example.com email=rob | In example.com whose email addresses start with rob |
| domain=example.com givenName=rob | In example.com whose first names start with rob |
| givenName=rob familyName=smith | Whose first names start with rob and last names start with smith |
| domain=example.com email=rob givenName=bob | In example.com whose email addresses start with rob and first names start with bob. |
