Abstract
A network search function is disclosed. A network administrator enters a search term. The search function determines whether any items or network devices listed in a network control user interface match the search term. The network administrator can stipulate whether the match be either an explicit match or an implicit match. All of the matches, if any, are automatically highlighted and selected. Thereby, the network administrator can perform an operation on these matches based on the search function, without having to manually locate and then manually click to select the desired items or network devices.
