The Quick Search Bar allows you to execute a simple, single attribute search.
 
To perform a simple search:
1. From the Attribute List, select a search attribute. Alternatively, enter a new one, for example, ou, cn.
Note: Any changes or additions to this list are saved when JXplorer shuts down.
2. From the Operator List, select the matching relationship for your search:
| Operator | Meaning | Example | 
| = | Exact match | sn=marten will return all entries with a surname of marten. | 
| ~= | Fuzzy match | sn~=marten will return all entries with a surname that sounds like marten, for example, martin, martinez. | 
| >= | Starting from | sn>=w will return all entries starting with w, and any subsequent letter of the alphabet, for example, Watts, Wittle, Yates. | 
| <= | Up to | sn<=b will return all entries up to b, for example, Anderson, Ash, B. Note this does not return entries starting with b, and followed by other letters. | 
| !(=) | Not equal | title!(=)secretary will return all entries with a title other than secretary. | 
3. Enter the search criteria in the Search Term text box.
Note: Use * as a wild card, for example, if you enter sn=smi*, the search will return all entries that start with smi.
4. Click the Quick Search button.
