Firewall policy strict search option will return only the results with an exact match 7.2.2

Firewall policy strict search option will return only the results with an exact match.

To use strict search in a Firewall policy:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Firewall Policy. The strict search icon is displayed next to the search bar. When enabled, search results only display exact matches.
  2. For example, go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Firewall Objects > Addresses, and create a firewall address object. For example, test1 with the IP 10.2.0.0.
  3. Use the firewall address object in a policy, and create a default policy as a comparison.
  4. Search for the address 10.2.0.0. When strict search is enabled, the search result returns only values where there is a total match.

  5. When strict search is not enabled, the search also returns "all" as a result.
