The Keyword Search dialog box is displayed. If there are no search results for an All Resources
search or you entered a null string, you will see a help message. A search on a specific resource
with no results displays a resources tab with no results listed.

When search results are displayed, click the resource name hyperlink to go to the Resources tab
for the resource. When viewing the detail pane for the resource (for example, a list of volumes
for a host) you can use the Export to CSV button (or Actions menu) to generate a resource report
for selected detail pane items (for example, all or some of the volumes for a host), or you can
select detail pane items to perform an operation (for example, selecting a volume and editing
the volume label).
5.
If the current search results do not meet your needs, or you want to run multiple searches without
closing the Keyword Search dialog box, you can repeatedly enter a new search string, and select
the resource to search. To perform a criteria search for storage resources, click the More Searches
button to start the Search dialog box.
