See [Getting Started → Search & Filters](/getting-started/search-and-filters/) for the operators.

The Request Template example holds this body with every filter of this endpoint, one entry per field, each with an operator the field accepts and a placeholder value. Copy it, keep the filters you need and set their values.

### Searchable Fields

Grouped by the operators they accept (measured against the API; sending another operator returns 400).

Operators: `eq`, `in`, `startswith`, `endswith`, `wildcard`, `fuzzy`, `contains_any`, `contains_all`, `exists`

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `asset` | The discovered asset's name: a domain, subdomain or IP address, or for a website asset `host:port`. |
| `discovery_history.id` | The ID of a discovery rule that found the asset, a 32-character hex string; the Discovery page's rule name filter sends this ID. |
| `discovery_history.seed_value` | The seed value a rule started from when it found the asset, such as an IP address, a certificate fingerprint, a phone number or an organization name. |
| `organization_name` | An organization name recorded for the discovered asset; in the samples it is set only on some domains and holds WHOIS-style values such as `redacted for privacy`. |

Operators: `eq`, `in`, `gte`, `lte`, `exists`

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `last_discovery_date` | When a rule last found the asset, shown as the discovery date in Discovery (UTC date-time). |
| `ignore_date` | When the asset was ignored in Discovery (UTC date-time); empty unless it is ignored. |
| `approve_date` | When the asset was approved into your inventory (UTC date-time); empty unless it is approved. |

Operators: `eq`, `in`, `exists`

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `asset_type` | The discovered asset's type: `domain`, `subdomain`, `ip` or `website`. |
| `state` | The review state: `in_review` (found by a rule, waiting for a decision), `approved` (added to your inventory) or `ignored` (dismissed; it stays out of your inventory). |

### Sortable Fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `asset` | The discovered asset's name: a domain, subdomain or IP address, or for a website asset `host:port`. |
| `state` | The review state: `in_review` (found by a rule, waiting for a decision), `approved` (added to your inventory) or `ignored` (dismissed; it stays out of your inventory). |
| `discovery_history` | The rule matches that found the asset, each with the rule ID, rule name, rule type (`smart_discovery`, `smart_monitoring` or `custom`), seed value and discovery date. |
| `last_discovery_date` | When a rule last found the asset, shown as the discovery date in Discovery (UTC date-time). |
| `organization_name` | An organization name recorded for the discovered asset; in the samples it is set only on some domains and holds WHOIS-style values such as `redacted for privacy`. |
| `ignore_date` | When the asset was ignored in Discovery (UTC date-time); empty unless it is ignored. |
| `approve_date` | When the asset was approved into your inventory (UTC date-time); empty unless it is approved. |
