Event Management searches through the alerts that you're currently seeing in the Express List based on the filters and time range you have set. It searches in the following predefined fields, even if they aren’t visible: Metric name, Node, Alert number, Alert Tags, and Description. It treats the text that you enter as a single string, not individual words.

The results match both the filters that you have applied and the string you have entered in the search field. In the resulting alert records, the entire string you searched by appears highlighted, and the available filters show the number of records that match the string. Recent searches are saved and accessible from the search field.
