On the computer search page (**ANALYZE > Computers > Computer Search**) you can quickly find computers that match specific search criteria:

- **Computer Name**: Type all or part of the required computer's network name. The computer name is not case sensitive.

:::note[Important]
**Example:** If you type *ab*, all computers with names like *ab*, *AB*, *Abe*, *cabinet*, *Scab*, etc. will show up.
:::
- **User Name**: Use this field if you want to search for a user who is currently logged in. Just like the computer name (see the previous), the user name is not case sensitive.
- **Agent ID**: Lets you base your search on the ID of the PerformanceGuard agent installed on the computer.
- **IP Address**: Specify all or part of the required computer's IP address. For example, you can fill in just the first three IP address fields to search for all computers on a subnet.
- **Member of**: Use if the required computer must be member of the selected location or group.
- **Not member of**: Use if the computer mustn't be member of the selected location or group. Select the entry *None* to ignore this parameter.
- **Citrix servers only**: Only list computers that are Citrix servers.
- **ICA clients only**: Only list computers that have an ICA Client installed.

:::caution
If this option and the **Citrix Server only** option are both selected, only Citrix servers that have valid ICA Clients installed will be listed
:::
- **Frontend Server**: Only list computers whose PerformanceGuard agents deliver data to the selected PerformanceGuard Frontend server.
- **Rows**: The maximum number of search results that you want to view per page.

You don't need to use all of the parameters.

When you click the **Lookup** button to perform the search, matches are shown below the search form. The colored indicators in the **Activity** column of the table represents the computer's activity level:
