Using the search field

The search panel is the heart of Squirro. To perform a simple search, enter your search query into the search field and press the SEARCH button or press Enter. The dropdown / typeahead facility will make helpful suggestions based on the data set. 

When you perform a search or filtering operation, such as adding a Smart Filter or selecting a value from a facet, it will be reflected in the search field by adding the value of the facet or the name of the Smart Filter.

Exclusion
