    • Contains –Filters for values that contain text you specify. For example, to find all values with a "1" between the first and last characters, type *1*.

    • Turn off case sensitivity – Filters for values without case sensitivity. For example, to search for findings with a Plugin Name of "TLS Version 1.2 Protocol Detection" or "tls version 1.2 protocol detection", type *tls version 1.2 protocol detection.

  7. In the drop-down box, select a filter value or type one in the text box.

    Tip: Some text filters support the character (*) as a wildcard to stand in for a section of text in the filter value. For example, if you want the filter to include all values that end in 1, type *1. If you want the filter to include all values that begin with 1, type 1*.

    You can also use the wildcard operator to filter for values that contain certain text. For example, if you want the filter to include all values with a 1 somewhere between the first and last characters, type *1*.

    Tip: Tenable Web App Scanning runs Findings searches in the background so that you can navigate away from the Findings page and return when a complex search is complete. You can also Cancel a search. Finally, Tenable Web App Scanning caches your most recent search for 30 minutes, notes the date and time in the top toolbar, and saves the state of the Findings page for your next visit.
