New Explore Search now available

Published on August 26, 2021

The next generation of Explore Search functionality has reached General Availability. It enables additional scenarios like tag management, orphaned objects discovery, and certificate expiration monitoring.

The new Explore Search introduces a few new search types in addition to the already familiar relationship search. These are:

  • List search - Find a list of unrelated resources that match certain criteria.

  • Text search - Find resources that contain a keyword in any of their properties or tags.

  • Aggregation search - Find the count of results based on specific property or tag.

  • Inverted relationship search - Find resources that don't have a relationship to other resources.

Each of these query types has extended capabilities to find the relevant results:

  • Tag-based search to find resources that have or don't have certain tags.

  • Date and time search that allows comparison between dates and uses functions like daysAgo() and weeksAgo() to return results based on simple time measurements.

  • Special functions to check for the existence of a specific property or value.

  • Wildcard search to match resources that follow a specific pattern.

We are also introducing multi-account search for non-relationship search types and a handy first-time experience guide with sample queries. You can find all this information and more in the new Explore Search documentation.
