Certain SilverBack reports do not include a Search bar - the Health Summary, Collection Failure Test Results and Security Suggestions Reports. All other SilverBack reports can be searched using the Search bar.
SilverBack’s powerful Search and Find capabilities provide you with several options for mining user-specified information from large reports. Both functions discover text within user-specified text strings. For example, a Find or Search criteria of “mac” will return results for both “Macintosh” and “MAC Address”. SilverBack’s Search and Find functions are not case-sensitive.

Search enables you to dynamically filter any supported report to display only rows that contain your search criteria. Search criteria are ANDed by column so that you can filter the report to display only rows that match all column criteria.
