Zing offers users several search interfaces and search operators to conduct text searches.

Search a list Find records in a list; search in a specific field (Go to), all fields (Search), or in a specific column. Knowledge Base Find knowledge articles. Live feed Filter, search, or sort messages in live feed. UI pages Create a custom UI page to search for records in a table. Search operator Description Boolean operators Construct complex searches using Boolean AND, OR, and NOT operators in global text searches. Quotation marks Wrap search terms in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase consisting of one or more words. Wildcard characters Expand search results to match any non-space character. Zing supports both single-character and multiple-character wildcards.

• Debug Zing
  Debugging messages create a log of search processes as they occur. These messages may help administrators configure optimal performance settings.
