Searching Match Objects

You can search the list of match objects using several different filters, each combined with an operator and a target value.

To complete a filtered search of match objects:

1	In the TreeControl, select the unit or group on which to search.

2	On the Policies tab, on the Firewall > Match Objects page, select one of the following search objects from the first Search pull-down list:

•	Name – the full or partial name of the match object

•	Object Type – the object type of the match object; see Match Object Types for the list of match object types

•	Match Type – the match type, one of Exact, Partial, Prefix, Suffix, used in the match object

3	Select one of the following operators from the next pull-down list:

•	Equals – search for any match object in which the name exactly matches the target value

•	Starts with – search for any match object in which the name begins with the target value

•	Ends with – search for any match object in which the name ends with the target value

•	Contains – search for any match object in which the name contains the target value

•	= (Equals sign) – search for any match object in which the object type or match type exactly matches the selected target value

4	When searching for a Name, a text box is displayed to the right of the operator. In the text box, type the target value that you are searching for in the match object name.

5	When searching for an Object Type or Match Type, select the target value from the pull-down list to the right of the operator.

6	Click Search to search your objects for one or more matches. Click Clear to set the search fields back to defaults.

The Match Objects list changes to display only the match objects found by your search.
