RutOS header

Summary

Every device running RutOS has a web header. On this page, we'll cover the main features of the header.

Basic/Advanced modes

If you're having trouble finding some page or some of the parameters on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Searchbar

Search is used to look up various pages on a device. It includes additional features such as recent search results, mouse as well as keyboard navigation and a button to clear input field.

This manual page provides an overview of Search functionality in devices and how to use it.

Functionality

Search contains basic search functionality and a few more additional features.

1. Ability to search for any Web page in device by typing into the search input. Results are presented in drop down list.

2. Recent search results. After navigating to a page using search, recent search list gets updated and can be used to navigate to a previous page. To access recent searches click on the search icon and previous searches will appear in drop down list below. The most recently visited pages will be displayed at the top.

3. Keyboard navigation. Search can be accessed not only using a mouse click on Search icon but also using a keyboard. Pressing / symbol changes focus to search input. At this point you can start typing into the search bar. Once search results are displayed Up and Down arrow keys can be used to select a desired page and pressing Enter will perform redirection.

4. Clear the search input using mouse. User input can also be cleared using a mouse rather than a keyboard. Click X button on the right side of the search input field to delete all user input.
