Censys Search 2.0 Change Log

While Search 2.0 is in beta, search functionality and features may change. Changes will be recorded here.

2021-05-25 — Feature Complete! 🎉

• Added documentation on the new Exact Query operator (=).
• Added a warning for queries using the now-deprecated .raw field. The exact query operator can be used for all previous use cases of .raw.
• Unicode escape sequences such as line feed (\n) and carriage return (\r) are now treated as such and must be escaped to be treated as literals. This is useful for matching multi-line fields such as banners.
• Changed the quick filters to use the exact query operator syntax.
• Removed regex query support for Community users.
• Fixed a bug in the Graph on the Reports tab.
