The Quick Find task is capable of initially discovering devices and filtering a device search for

previously discovered devices.
While searching by TCP/IP address, multiple devices can be discovered using a wildcard variable
when typing in the criteria for the TCP/IP address. You can use a zero (0) or asterisk (*) as a wildcard
character when performing a Quick Find based on a network subnet. For example, in order to find all
the printers on the 122 subnet, the user would type in the address value 138.188.122.0. This would
find devices with IP addresses of 138.188.122.
