Search Text
Formulate you request in the Text field. Use the allowed characters and the asterisk sign (*). The asterisk is a wildcard that represents any combination of characters. The asterisk can be placed at the beginning, middle, or end of the request and can be used multiple times. For example, to find all MANs, select search by name, type *man* in the Text field, and click the Find button (or <enter>). All units whose name contains this combination of characters (both at the beginning and at the end of the name) will be found and displayed. The request is not case sensitive.
Another wildcard character that can be used is the question sign (?). It replaces any single character.
To separate different parts of the request, use the comma (,). For instance, to find all MANs and all Ivecos, type *man*,*iveco*.
