Many pages contain a text box near the top left corner whereby users can specify filters of the form <filter_name>:<filter_value> <filter_name>:<filter_value>. Each filter consists of a name and value separated by a colon, and the filters themselves are space-separated. Once the desired filters are typed in, the user must hit Enter to apply the filters to the current view. A record must match all specified filters to be displayed. An example valid filter string is:

 os:rhel3 load:.15

The above filter will display only servers with an operating system containing the value "rhel3" and a load containing the value ".15".
