Search type Instructions and resulting action Class/Package In the Search terms field, type a class name or package name.

- Search terms
String to be found in the items searched.
The search is case-sensitive. If the search string is classname, the string ClassName is not found.
The search matches the entire string. If the search type is JAR/Directory and the search string is C:/WebSphere/AppServerd0603.185/java/jre/lib/ext/CmpCrmf.jar, the entire path of the JAR file is matched. If the search type is JAR/Directory and the search string is Cmp, the string Cmp is not found.
The search supports limited regular expressions. It supports the wildcard characters asterisk (*), question mark (?), and percent sign (%). The wildcard characters * and % match zero or more characters; ? matches exactly one character.
Search string Resulting matches *Cmp* Items that have Cmp in their name *Cmp*.jar Items that have Cmp in their name and that end in .jar %Cmp% Items that have Cmp in their name %Cmp%.jar Items that have Cmp in their name and that end in .jar *Cmp?rmf.jar Items that have a name with any characters before Cmp, then any one character, and then rmf.jar
The search supports full regular expressions if the value for the search string starts and ends with a forward slash (/).
Search string Resulting matches /.*Cmp.*/ Items that contain any character before and after Cmp in their name /.*Cmp.*\.jar/ Items that have Cmp in their name and that end in .jar /.*Cmp?rmf\.jar/ Items that have a name with any characters before Cmp, then any one character, and then rmf.jar /.*\d\.jar/ Items with a name that ends in a number followed by .jar
