-Protogrid provides a simple search/filter functionality in tableviews and selection/dropdown lists. Please note that a Google-like search engine is not yet available for Protogrid but is planned for a future release. The system does not provide boolean operators like AND, OR, NOT.+Protogrid provides a powerful search functionality in tableviews and selection/dropdown lists. It is useful to find a Card for which characteristic text is known (e.g. a product name mentioned in an advertising text). If you want to comfortably restrict the display of Cards based on certain field values (e.g. categories or status), our [[filter|Filter Fields]] might be the better choice.

-Usually the frontend displays date/time values in your local timezone and according to your regional settings. The system stores date/time values in UTC format. +
- +
-Searches for dates must meet the following format: +
-YYYY-MM-DD +
-where YYYY is the 4 digit year number, MM is the two digit month number and DD is the two digit day number, each part connected by a minus +
- +
-Note that in some cases due to UTC format the day number may differ compared to the day number in your local timezone.+
  
 +Searching freely for date and time is not recommended because of ambiguities with time zones. Usage of our dedicated [[filter|Date Filters]] might be the better choice.
