Configure initial search results

You can improve the performance of certain search pages by removing the default ”search all” behavior on the initial search page, and specifying minimum search requirements. To do this, set the SEARCH NO INIT RESULT option on the Manage the system > Modules> Options page.

Type the restrictions as a comma-delimited list in the format:

<TYPE>:<MINLENGTH>[:<SESSDATA_KEY>=<VALUE>],...

where:

  • TYPE is one of the following:

    • HOST –automatically discovered target systems search

    • FOUNDCOMPUTER – discovered system search

    • FOUNDACCOUNT – discovered accounts search

    • NOSGROUP – managed and unmanaged groups search .

    • MANAGEDGROUP – managed groups search only

    • PAACCESS – privileged access search in the Privileged access menu

    • USER – user search

    • WSTNPWDTYPE – managed accounts search in the Request toaccess accounts menu

  • MINLENGTH specifies the minimum length for the search criteria; for example, if you set SEARCH NO INIT RESULT to USER:3 , then users must enter search criteria with a minimum of three characters before results are displayed.

  • SESSDATA_KEY=VALUE specifies session data to be used in search.

    The following are currently supported:

    • SEARCH_HOST_TYPE=A for HOST type searches

    • 1_CURRENT=PWDVIEWREQ for WSTNPWDTYPE type searches

    To set other SESSDATA_KEY=VALUE fields, contact <SUPPORT>.

The default value for SEARCH NO INIT RESULT is:

HOST:0:SEARCH_HOST_TYPE=A,FOUNDCOMPUTER:0,FOUNDACCOUNT:0,NOSGROUP:0,MANAGEDGROUP:0,USER:0,WSTNPWDTYPE:0:1_CURRENT=PWDVIEWREQ
