Each attribute field has an internal ID that you can use with search filters. For example, the internal ID for the Full Name attribute field is cn
. When you enter a search filter in Smart Search, use the internal ID (cn
) rather than the attribute field name (Full Name):
cn=Smith Fukuda
Some attribute fields also have a second, abbreviated internal ID. For example, the Full Name field has two internal IDs: commonName
and cn
. You can use either name in a search filter.
