Persistent object search menu
Object search can be done using a persistent search menu which is available when viewing policies, and the search extends to all object types.
To use the persistent search menu:
- Go to Policy & Objects > Policy Packages and select a policy.
- In the policy table, users can click the double arrow icon (
) to open the Object Search panel, and search for objects.
You can also create or edit existing objects from the Object Search panel.
- From the search results, you can see which objects are configurable to which policy fields.

- You can assign objects from the search panel to a policy by dragging and dropping the object into the corresponding column. FortiManager only supports the drag-and-drop object feature when the object is placed in the column of the came category.
