About the search controls

Can't find exactly what you're looking for using the navigation controls? The universal search controls allow you to search globally across your account to find exactly what you're looking for. Enter search terms like specific service names or user names to get suggestions or limit your search to specific data types by using filters. You'll only see results appropriate to the roles and permissions you've been granted for your account.

Before you begin

Limitations and considerations

Keep the following things in mind:

• The universal search controls only appear in the Fastly control panel and aren't available in the Next-Gen WAF control panel.
• Universal search results are limited to Fastly users, services (both Compute and Deliver), and TLS certificates.

Using the search controls

Use the search controls to find information globally across your account. To narrow your search results, you can use filters as part of your initial search.

Searching for data

To search for something, display all the results, and then use those results to navigate to what you're looking for, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Fastly web interface.
2. In the Search field at the top of the page, enter your search term. By default, all results will begin to appear as you type unless you've chosen to refine the results by limiting them to a specific subset using filters.
3. From the search results that appear below the field, select the appropriate result either by clicking on it directly or by using the up and down arrow keys and then pressing Enter when the specific result you need is highlighted.

Fine-tuning search results with filters

You can limit the results you'll receive during searches by prefacing search terms with words that have special meaning. These special words, called filters, restrict your data to a specific kind of result.

To use filters, enter the filter name (followed immediately by a colon) and the search terms of the data you're looking for directly in the search field. For example, to search for your www.example.com service, you would enter services: www.example.com in the search field.
