# Search, Filter and Export Lists

Use the list controls that every module shares, from search, filters, views and columns to bulk selection, record drawers, exports and history comparison.

Most module screens are lists: assets, discovered assets, issues, vulnerabilities, technologies,
compromised employees and exposed credentials, suspicious and fraudulent domains, and Deep Search & Insights (DSI) search results.
They share the same controls, described once here.

## Before You Start

You need the module's package. Some lists do not offer every control; each module page says which ones
it has.

## Where to Find It

On any list screen, for example the asset inventory:
**Sidebar:** **EXTERNAL ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT** › **ASSETS** › **INVENTORY** · **Tab:** **ASSETS LIST** ·
https://platform.deepinfo.com/app/easm/assets

## Read a List Screen

From top to bottom, a list screen usually has:

1. **In-page tabs** under the page title, for example **OVERVIEW**, **ASSETS LIST** and **INSIGHTS**. The
   list is one of these tabs.
2. **The filter bar:** the **SEARCH** box, one filter chip per category or field, and at the right two
   icons that switch between quick view and list view. When the chips do not fit, **SHOW ALL FILTERS**
   shows the rest and **HIDE FILTERS** folds them again.
3. **The result line:** the number of results, for example **\<n\> ASSETS FOUND**, and buttons such as
   **EXPORT** and **VIEW SETTINGS**. Some lists add options here, such as **SHOW INACTIVES**.
4. **List tabs,** on some lists, for example one tab per asset type with its count.
5. **The list** itself, with "Displaying Results" and the page numbers below it.

## Search a List

1. Type in the **SEARCH** box.
2. Press **Enter**.

The search is added as a filter on the list's main field. In the inventory, for example, it becomes the
condition **Asset** · **Must** · **Contains Any** · your text.

On **DARK WEB SEARCH**, **Enter** only adds your text as a condition. Select **SEARCH** to run the search.

## Filter a List

1. Select a filter chip. If the one you need is not shown, select **SHOW ALL FILTERS** first.
   - On some lists a chip is a **category**. The inventory, for example, has **ASSET META**, **WHOIS**,
     **DNS**, **SSL**, **HTTP**, **WEBDATA**, **IP WHOIS** and **OTHER**. Under **Select field**, choose the
     field to filter on.
   - On other lists a chip is a single **field**, for example **ISSUE**, **SEVERITY** or **STATE** in the
     issue list.
2. Set the rule:
   - **Must**: results must match this condition.
   - **Must Not**: results must not match this condition.
   - **Should**: results must match at least one of your **Should** conditions.
3. Choose an operator and enter the **Value**. The operators depend on the field:
   - text fields offer operators such as **Equal**, **Wildcard**, **Fuzzy**, **Contains Any**,
     **Start With** and **Exists**;
   - number fields use **Between**, with a **MINIMUM** and a **MAXIMUM**;
   - date fields use **AFTER** and **BEFORE**;
   - some fields have one fixed operator, for example **Equal**.
4. To add another condition in the same chip, select **Add New**. **Clear All** removes the chip's
   conditions.
5. Select **APPLY**, or **CANCEL** to close without changes.

The chip then shows how many conditions it holds, for example **ASSET META 1**.

Some search pages work a little differently: **DOMAIN SEARCH** and **VULNERABILITY SEARCH** in DSI,
**DARK WEB SEARCH** and **CYBER SECURITY NEWS**. On these pages the filters sit in a panel, and you run
the search with **SEARCH**. Your conditions are listed under **FILTERS APPLIED**, and **CLEAR FILTERS**
removes them all. On the DSI search pages and **DARK WEB SEARCH**, the panel has the tabs **FILTERS**
and **SAVED SEARCH**.

## Switch Between Quick View and List View

The two icons at the right of the filter bar switch the layout. The eye icon is quick view.

- **List view** shows a table, usually 25 results per page.
- **Quick view** shows a list on the left and the selected record's details on the right, with
  **OPEN IN NEW TAB** to open the record's full page. On many lists, **LOAD MORE** at the end of the left
  list loads more records. The inventory's left list has its own **SEARCH** box and a sort icon.

Some controls, such as **VIEW SETTINGS**, are hidden in quick view.

## Change Columns, Sorting and Page Size

In list view, select **VIEW SETTINGS** to open **View Options**. Depending on the list, it has:

- **Sort By**: shows **Default** until you choose. Select it, choose the field and the direction in the
  two **Select** boxes, and select **APPLY**. **CLEAR** removes the sort.
- **Result Per Page**: 25, 50, 75 or 100.
- **SHOWN**: one switch per column. Turn a switch off to hide the column. Drag columns to change their
  order. A column whose switch cannot be changed is always shown.
- **Reset to Default View**: restores the default columns.
- Extra options on some lists, for example **Show Only Tagged Assets** in the inventory.

To sort by a column, select the arrows in its header. The first click sorts in descending order, the
second in ascending order, and the third returns to the default order. Not every column can be sorted.

Column changes are not saved: when you reload the page, the default columns come back. Your search and
filters are cleared on reload too, and on some lists when you switch list tabs.

## Open a Record

Select a row to open its **drawer**, a panel on the right with the record's details.

- The drawer's sections are a column of icons along its side. Hover over an icon to see its name, for
  example **OVERVIEW** or **ISSUES**.
- **OPEN IN NEW TAB** at the top of the drawer opens the record's full page in a new browser tab.
- Actions for the record sit in the drawer's **…** or **⋮** menu, or in buttons at the bottom of the
  drawer, such as **IGNORE** and **ADD TO MY ASSETS** for a discovered asset.

## Select Several Records

1. Tick the checkboxes of the rows you want. A bar appears above the list with **\<n\> selected** and the
   actions, for example **SCAN NOW** and **DELETE** in the inventory, or **CHANGE ALL STATUS** in the
   issue list.
2. To widen the selection, open the menu of the checkbox in the table header:
   - **SELECT THIS PAGE** selects every row on the page;
   - **SELECT ALL RESULTS**, on the lists that offer it, selects every result;
   - **CLEAR SELECTION** starts again.

   **SELECT THIS PAGE** and **SELECT ALL RESULTS** show how many rows they select.
3. Choose the action in the bar.

> [!WARNING]
> **SELECT ALL RESULTS** selects every result, on every page, not only the rows you can see. The action
> you choose next applies to all of them. Use it only on lists whose page in this guide describes it, and
> check your filters first. Everywhere else, tick the rows or use **SELECT THIS PAGE**.

## Export a List

1. Filter the list if you want only part of it.
2. Select **EXPORT**. The **DOWNLOAD** window opens: "Choose the records, format, and level of detail for
   your export."
3. Choose what you want:
   - **RECORDS**: **ALL** for every record in the list, without your filters, or **FILTERED** for the
     records that match your filters. **FILTERED** is offered when filters are applied.
   - **FILE FORMAT**: **CSV** or **JSON**. **JSON** is selected at first.
   - **EXPORT SCOPE**: **DEFAULT**, **BASIC** or **EXTENDED**, on the lists that offer it.
4. Select **DOWNLOAD**. On Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) lists the button is **EXPORT**.

Not every list offers every choice. Vulnerability Search, for example, asks only for the **FILE FORMAT**.
On a few lists, **EXPORT** is shown but cannot be used.

## Compare Historical Records

On an asset's full page, the **ASSET INFO** tab has buttons such as **SHOW HISTORICAL WHOIS RECORDS** and
**SHOW HISTORICAL DNS RECORDS**. For open ports, the history button is an icon. Each opens a date
picker with **YEAR**, **MONTH** and **DAY**.

- To see one snapshot, choose its date and select **CONFIRM**.
- To compare, tick **Compare Dates (Up to 3 Records)**, choose up to three dates and select
  **COMPARE**.

## Work With Page Tabs

Domain Search, Vulnerability Search, Instant Lookup and Dark Web Search work in page tabs, like a
browser. Each search or lookup can have its own tab.

Right-click a tab for **Duplicate**, **New Tab to The Right**, **Close Tab**, **Close Other Tabs** and
**Close Tabs to the Right**. The same menu lists **Add Tab to Saved Search**, which is not available.
The tab list menu has a **Search tabs** box.

Your tabs are kept in this browser, for your user, so they are still there after a reload. They do not
appear in another browser or on another computer. Because a tab keeps its content, check the target in
a lookup tab before you run it again.

## Good to Know

- **No saved searches.** **SAVE THIS SEARCH**, the **SAVED SEARCH** tab and **Add Tab to Saved Search**
  appear on some pages, but you cannot save a search with them.
- **Changes take a few seconds.** After an action such as a state change or a removal, the list refreshes
  after about 6 seconds.
- **Same model as the API.** The **Must**, **Must Not** and **Should** rules work like the `must`,
  `must_not` and `should` parts of an API search request.

## Do This With the API

- [Search & filters](/getting-started/search-and-filters/): the filter model, the operators and bulk
  actions.
- [Pagination](/getting-started/pagination/): paging through results.
- Exports work the same way through the API, for example [Asset Export](/reference/easm/asset-export/).
