Note: Searches using characters will not include results from the Traffic logs. Traffic logs
include information for source and destination IP addresses and ports which is strictly
numerical information.
For example, if you are searching on User1, you may get results for User1, however, none
of the results will include entries from the Traffic log. To get results from the traffic log, you
must search on the IP address of User1. For example, 10.10.10.1.
