The text panel at the top-center of the new brainCloud Portal provides access to Smart Search.
Any search string typed into the smart search field first gets checked to see if it contains a hint (i.e. the user manually included the hint).
These hinted searches adhere to the following form (note the “:” character that separates the “hint” from the “search term”).
<hint>:<search_term> (NOTE: The "hint" string itself is case-insensitive)
If no hint was supplied then the search string gets passed into our “smart” generator that will perform various regex tests and generate a set of applicable hinted searches.
If the search string looks like an appId (i.e. a 5 digit number,
/^\\d{5,5}$/i) this will generate an "appId" hinted search.If the search string looks like an accountNumber (i.e. a 7 digit number,
/^\\d{7,7}$/i) this will generate an "accountNumber" hinted search.If the search string looks like an email (i.e.
/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/) this will generate an "email" hinted search.If the search string looks like an UUID (i.e.
/^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$/i) this will generate both "companyId" and "playerId" hinted searches.If none of the above cases apply, then this will result in a "name" hinted search as a fallback.

Some search examples:
"awesome" <- looks for an app, user, or screen with "awesome" in the name
"12345" <- looks for an app with an appId of 12345
"user@awesomeapp.com" <- looks for an end-user / player that has this email
