Hi Team,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. It seems like you're experiencing an unexpected behavior with the search functionality in SysAid, particularly when searching for assets that include zeros in their identifiers. This issue where zeros are treated like wildcards can indeed disrupt the efficiency of data retrieval. Let's try a few steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue on your end.

**Troubleshooting Steps:**

1. **Clear Cache and Cookies:** Start by clearing your browser's cache and cookies. Sometimes, cached data can cause unexpected behavior in web applications.

2. **Check for Updates:** Ensure that your SysAid instance is up to date. New updates often include bug fixes that might resolve the issue you're experiencing.

3. **Test in Different Browsers:** Try accessing SysAid and performing the search in a different browser. This can help determine if the issue is browser-specific.

4. **Use Advanced Filters:** Utilize the advanced filter options to narrow down your search results. This can help in isolating the asset you're looking for by applying more specific criteria.

5. **Reindex the Database:** If possible, initiate a reindexing of the database. This can often resolve issues related to search functionality. Note: This step may require SysAid administrator privileges.

6. **Contact SysAid Support:** If the issue persists after trying the above steps, it might require further investigation by the SysAid support team. Please provide detailed information about the issue, including the steps you've taken to troubleshoot, and any specific examples that illustrate the problem.
