In the blog of last week about the search feature I described how you are able to use the search tab in the ribbon and which options are there. This blog in the series about the Configuration Manager 2012 Console will have a  focus on the available criteria and options while you are searching for objects.

Next to working from the search tab, you are also able to refine a search by clicking on Add Criteria next to the search field. Depending on which  node you are the selectable criteria will be different. This way you are helped while searching for the objects you need.

Add criteria

Let’s walk through the nodes in the Assets and Compliance workspace and see what criteria you are able to search for;

Users node

In the users node you are able to search for; Domain, Name, Resource ID or Resource type. In the next two figures you see how adding these criteria will help you searching for an object.
