How to search for accounts on your WHM server

Description
  • Click on Search accounts from Account Information column.
  • The search form is exactly the same as one on the list accounts page. In fact, any results from searches made there will be displayed using that system.
  • The default search query is to be performed on the domains of your accounts, matching all domain names starting with .net. Up to 30 accounts will be displayed.
  • The search tool operates using regular expressions. Regular expressions are far too complex to describe in detail, but there will be helpful links for it.
  • Backslash () preceding the period in .net needs to be there because a period in regular expressions is a wildcard. It can represent any character, not just a period. Placing a backslash in front of a special character such as the period will disable its special functionality.
  • A dollar sign ($) in regular expressions signifies the end of a string text. Since, a top level domain such as .net always comes at end of domain name and that’s the reason to use dollar sign.
  • Similarly, caret (^) sign can be used to signify the start of a string. So, we can search for all accounts with an IP address beginning with 12.202 using the expression ^12.202.
  • It may seem complicated, but regular expressions can be a very powerful tool and would be especially useful if ever you have hundreds of accounts on server.
  • You can always just treat this form as the search forms you are used to. A standard search query is a valid regular expression.
  • You can perform a search. First, choose a Selector from the list. This controls which settings of the accounts will be searched through. In Match, enter value that will be used to search through the accounts’ selectors. Scroll right and click on Find button.
  • The search results will be displayed. Click Forget Search link to revert to the standard account list. Scroll down. You will see identical form available at the bottom of the page.
