Searching in Nx Witness

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Search engine behavior throughout Nx Witness is similar for list dialogs with a search or filter field, such as Select Camera, Add Device, or Select Users.

Type any characters into the search field to activate a search. Search results appear in the search pane immediately as characters are entered. If the search returns a large number of results, only the first 24 or 64 results will be displayed (for x86 architecture or x64 architecture respectively).

Note that Camera ID fields are only searched if a query is 4 symbols or longer. This is because Camera ID strings are so long and contain so many characters they could flood search results without this limitation.

Some minimal logic is available for search criteria:

Use + to add a new criteria to the search. For example, “out + 100” will select all results containing either “out” or “100”.

Use \ to omit results containing certain characters. For example, “out \hdtv” will select all results containing “out”, but not “hdtv”.
