You can search zone member selection lists for specified strings of text. If you know some
identifying information about a possible member of a zoning entity, you can select the tab and view
for that entity and then search through its member selection list using the Search for Zone Member
option. If the target entity is an alias or zone, then the search domain includes elements like switch
names and domain numbers, port names and "domain, port" addresses, device WWNs and
manufacturer names, and also any aliases that might already have been defined. If the target
entity is a configuration, then zones are also included, along with the elements they contain.
The search starts from the top of the list, and when the target element is found, it is also selected
in the Member Selection List so it can be added or its parent or children can be found. By default,
the Member Selection List is searched from beginning to end one time. If you select the
wraparound option, the search continues to loop from the beginning to the end of the Member
Selection List.
