Search for user profiles in Console

Use Console to search for users and user accounts. You can write search queries by using Console's built-in query language, or rely on "Guided Search" and let Console write your queries for you.

Search for user profiles

• Modify display attributes
  Specify the attributes returned when doing a user profile search in Console.

• Suppress default and empty searches
  Prevent Console from automatically showing all your user profiles when you access the Manage Profiles page. This also prevents Console from displaying all your profiles if you do a user search without specifying a search criteria.

• Create a search query
  The three components (attribute name, operator, and target value) that must appear in a search query.

• Configure target search values
  How to search for string values. And numeric values. And date values. And ….

  Using the ? and * wildcards in a search query.

• Create a search query with Guided Search
  Reviewing (and reusing) previously-run search queries.

• Create a search filter
  Search filters are stored on the server, meaning that -- unlike search history -- they can be accessed from any device you use to log in to Console.

• Modify, rename, or delete a search filter
