Search for Multiple Elements Using Special Operators

Special operators provide a powerful tool for better data analysis. By combining search phrases with special operators you can more easily identify conditions so you can take proper actions.

The available special operators are:

Operator	Description
|>	All connected elements
>>	All elements connected in output

To search for multiple Elements using special operators:

1. In the Search box, type the search string using the operators you need to get the results you want.
