### Search and Select

The Search and Select feature enables you to search the names of the Windows Computers in the grid by a partial or full *Computer Name.* For example, if you wanted to select all the Computers that contain "*Desktop"* in their name, you would enter "*Desktop"* into the search field. The *Select* button would appear, which allows you to select all computers matching that criteria.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that if some Computers are online and others are offline, you must select either O*nline* or O*ffline* from the drop-down menu on the select button (this menu will not appear if all computers are in the same state).
{% endhint %}
