7.1.4. Quick Search
In addition to the Advanced Search functionality for Packages, Errata, Documentation, and Systems
offered within some categories, RHN Satellite also offers a Quick Search tool near the the top of each
page. To use it, select the search item (choose from
Systems
,
Packages
,
Documentation
, and
Errata
) and type a keyword to look for a name match. Click the
Search
button. Your results appear at
the bottom of the page.
If you misspell a word during your search query, the Satellite search engine institutes
approximate
string
(or
fuzzy string
) matching, giving you results that may be similar in spelling to your misspelled
queries.
For example, if you want to search for a certain development system called
test-1.example.com
that is registered to the Satellite, but you misspell your query
tset
, the test-1.example.com system
still appears in the search results
Note
If you add a distribution or register a system to a Satellite, it may take several minutes for
it to be indexed and appear in search results.

Section 7.4.5, “Advanced Search —

7.1.5. Systems Selected
Also near the top of the page is a tool for keeping track of the systems you have selected for use in the
System Set Manager. It identifies the number of selected systems at all times and provides the means
to work with them. Clicking the
Clear
button deselects all systems, while clicking the
Manage
button
launches the System Set Manager with your selected systems in place.
These systems can be selected in a number of ways. Only systems with at least a
Management entitlement are eligible for selection. On all system and system group lists,
a Select column exists for this purpose. Select the checkboxes next to the systems or
groups and click the
Update List
button below the column. Each time, the Systems
Selected tool at the top of the page changes to reflect the new number of systems ready
for use in the System Set Manager. Refer to
Section 7.4.4, “System Set Manager —
”
for details.
7.1.6. Lists
The information within most categories is presented as lists. These lists have some common features
for navigation. For instance, you can navigate through virtually all lists by clicking the back and next
arrows above and below the right side of the table. Some lists also offer the ability to retrieve items
alphabetically by clicking the letters above the table.
