Switch Search Bar Enhancement

Zyxel_Claudia

In the firmware version 4.90, Zyxel has introduced a new search bar enhancement specifically designed to make navigation within the Switch interface more intuitive and efficient. This update allows users to quickly locate configuration pages and settings using predefined keywords, significantly improving the user experience and reducing time spent searching for specific options.

Search Bar Enhancement

The enhanced search bar in the firmware version 4.90 now supports a variety of predefined keywords, allowing users to type commonly used terms and be directed to relevant configuration or monitoring pages. Previously, users could only search based on existing menu or sub-menu items, such as “System” or “IP Setup.” Now, with defined keywords like "host" or "SSH," the search function provides faster access and broader flexibility, helping network administrators manage switches more easily.

1. Predefined Keyword Support:
   • A set of keywords is now available, allowing users to enter terms that are commonly associated with specific functions or configurations. For example:
     • “Host” directs users to the ARP Table.
     • “SSH” takes users to the Access Control configuration page.
     • “Ping” direct user to the Diagnostic page.
2. Expanded Search Criteria:
   • The search bar now supports a wider range of terms, including configuration settings and monitoring functions. This enhancement makes it more intuitive for users who may not know the exact menu path but are familiar with industry-standard terminology.

Summary

The search bar enhancement for switches is a valuable update that boosts usability, especially for administrators who frequently work with network configurations. With the addition of predefined keywords, Zyxel has made it easier than ever to find and configure essential network settings.
