The report search field in Angelfish reports is a helpful tool for on-the-fly filtering of your reports. This field accepts normal text or regular expressions.

Keep in mind, regular expressions match exactly what you type. If you include spaces in your search, it will try to match the spaces and will return nothing if the spaces are not found.

For example, searching for:

(bags | shoes)

Will try to match:

bags[space] OR [space]shoes

 The correct syntax to search for the terms "bags" or  "shoes" is:

(bags|shoes)
