Is the search feature limited to the columns displayed on the new Asset Portal?

The search feature in the Asset Portal is designed to allow users to access and retrieve a wide range of information within ForeScout's entire database, rather than being restricted to just the columns that are visible or displayed. This broad search capability enables users to efficiently locate assets and details by searching across all available data points, ensuring a comprehensive overview rather than a limited view.

By having the ability to search the entire database, users benefit from greater flexibility and can pinpoint specific assets or information that may not be readily available within the displayed columns. This is especially important for administrators who need reliable and quick access to data for operational decision-making.

In contrast, limiting searches to only displayed columns or predefined parameters would significantly restrict the user's ability to harness the full power of the data stored in the system. Allowing searches exclusively in external databases would also not serve the primary functionality of the Asset Portal, which is designed to provide users with a complete and accessible asset inventory.
