Keyword Searches for Users, Groups, and Roles
Use a keyword search to locate users, groups, or roles that contain the keywords that you specify.
When you initiate a search, you select whether you want to search for users, groups, or roles, and specify the keywords to use in the search. My webMethods matches the keywords against user IDs, group IDs, or role IDs based on whether you are searching for users, groups, or roles.
You can use the following special characters in your keywords:
Embed an asterisk (*) any place within a keyword to match multiple characters. The asterisk functions as a wildcard character. For example, if you want to locate all groups with group IDs that contain the letter “b” and “c” with any number of characters between, type
b*c as the keyword.
Enclose a keyword in quotations (" ") to match an exact string. For example, if you want to locate all users with user IDs that contain the string “acct”, type
"acct". Note that the search for exact phrases is case insensitive.
My webMethods performs an AND operation on the keywords you specify. In other words, all keywords that you specify must be present for My webMethods to include a user, group, or role in the search results. Additionally, My webMethods searches as if you had enclosed each keyword within asterisks. For example, if you specify the keyword bbb, My webMethods searches as if you specified *bbb* and returns entries that:
Are equal to the keyword itself, for example, ‘man’ returns ‘man’
Start with the keyword, for example, ‘man” returns ‘manual’ and “manufacturer’
End with the keyword, for example, ‘man’ returns ‘roman’ and “snowman’
Have the keyword embedded, for example, ‘man’ returns ‘romantic’ and ‘adamant’
My webMethods does not take the order in which you specify keywords into consideration. It returns matching items regardless of the order in which the keywords occur.
