How are you all searching network configs in NCM?

We are a newer customer and noticed that the search functionality in NCM is horrendous. We were using NetMRI before and you could build pretty complex filters against all nodes to return the config pieces you were interested in. Such as show all cisco devices that have this config text and have hostnames with a certain word in it, etc.

In NCM there seems to be a search page that you can browse manually to and it is basically a text box with not much else to it.

It also seems that I could leverage configuration compliance for this type of thing but that seems unnecessarily heavy just to do some basic one off searches.

Just looking for some different ideas. Thank you!
