# Searching for Data Flow Points

The search feature searches the sampled IOs for the selected time period, and can find a data flow point and the IOs that went through that point during the sampling period even if the object at the data flow point is a low performer (according to the current sorting and filtering criteria) and is not displayed due to the limit.

If searching does not find an object (such as a CNode or a view), this means that IO did not flow through the object.

To search, enter text into the search field below a column's name. Partial text search is supported and can return multiple results. For example, searching for `cnode-6` would also display CNodes named `cnode-60`, `cnode-61`, `cnode-62`, and so on.
