.. _19.1.1|VOSS-514:

This procedure performs a search in the Business Admin Portal.


1. Log in to the Business Admin Portal.

2. Click the **Search** icon (magnifying glass icon on the toolbar).

3. In the search pop-up, choose a feature or service to search on, such as:

   * Subscribers
   * Phones
   * Lines
   * Internal Number Inventory
   * Hunt Groups
   * Sites
   * Voicemail

   Options in the drop-down are permissions-based, and defined by your administrator.

#. Configure search criteria:

   * **Select Field**: the item's attributes, for example for **Subscriber** you can
     choose **User ID**, **Phone Name** and so on.
   * **Select Condition**: a match operator to be applied to a search value.

   * Enter criteria in the **Enter Search Value** field, and choose string case sensitivity.
   * To add additional criteria, select **Add Search Condition**, and fill out values.

     You can remove and edit search criteria before running the search.

#. Click **Search**.

#. View results.

   The search results list header displays the search criteria, and search displays as column
   filters in the list.

.. note::

   * To search for rows with no value in a selected column, choose any Filter Type
     option, select the **Ignore Case** check box and type ``None`` in the Value.
     This works for all list views except Subscriber.
   * The **Located At** column will only filter on the actual hierarchy name
     and not the displayed text next to it, for example "site", "customer", and so on.
   * When sorting, a blank value appears as if the value was "None" in terms of alphabetical order
   * With no search filter applied, sort works on any column in the list view.
   * With a search filter applied to a single column, sort works on the search filtered column only.
   * With a search filter applied to more than one column, the sort functionality will not work.
   * The sorting of columns (ascending or descending) by clicking column headers
     while a search filter is applied, is only supported for Starts With search filters.
   * Leading spaces on a field in the list view are dropped when rendering the list view,
     so this may affect the sort order.
