Search Queries

The AI Search feature is compatible with free-form language, along with supported attributes, to search for (or navigate to) specific contexts, pages, information, or related documentation in the network.

Suggested Queries

The suggested queries list displays search suggestions corresponding to the applicable devices, clients, and related documentation. A default list of queries is initially displayed, after which it auto-completes (or suggests) queries based on the typed input. Suggested queries will be displayed when a search query begins with the site name, followed by a space, and then the related attribute.

Note:

In the site context, the default list of suggested queries includes random queries based on the selected site.

For examples of search queries and their results, see Search Query Examples.

The supported navigation queries in both Global and Site contexts are as follows:

Note:

If the search input is not a supported navigation query or is not in the suggested queries drop-down, manually triggering the search displays the Search Results page for the search input.
