how to search for IP addresses defined on a page

[Chris Reedus]

We use the product to document the customer IP addresses in CIDR notation. We are not able to find IP addresses when searching for items like below, but when i go to the page where that is defined it is there?

185.24.236/0/24

@Chris Reedus Welcome to the Atlassian community.  You will need the proper syntax in search. / is used for regular expression searches and I believe is a reserved character.  So you might have to do a wildcard search 185.24.236*0*24  This could return more than what you want.

/.*185[.]24[.]236[/]0[/]24.*/

I had to find a simple IP address, and it turned out to be 

/.*172[.]31[.]55[.]101.*/  as relayed in

I took that and put your stuff in, and did a search on this site, and your question page came up, so I'm fairly confident it will work.
