I have a bit of a silly question, but I cannot figure out the right syntax for something that should be simple.

In the Core config Manager, in either the Hosts or Services, there are search boxes at the top. How in the world do I search for multiple words? For example, I have two dissimilar server names "APP01" and "DBMS02", and I want to include both of them in the search results.

I have tried Boolean and Regex, and cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong.

I don't think our search box handles regex, just regular string matching. I can file a feature request for this if you'd like.

Oh well, bummer. That would be a useful feature, someday...

It would certainly have some use cases, currently it matches either host name, or host alias. It will also match... for instance, if you search 'load,' and there is no host name or alias assigned to that, it would display the services with load in their name or alias.

What I really want to do is list all of the services in a particular Host Group, so that I can then speed up my edit times.

I've gone ahead and filed a feature request for this here: http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=507
