• Double-quotes are not required around values, but can be used

  Example
  Both sensorStates:"UNSUPPORTED_OS" and sensorStates:UNSUPPORTED_OS work for searching

• Multiple values can be searched simultaneously

  Either of the below searches work to show any/all devices with one of the Sensor States where a reboot should be the first remediation step attempted.
  
  sensorStates:(DRIVER_INIT_REBOOT_REQUIRED OR DRIVER_LOAD_PENDING OR DRIVER_INIT_ERROR)
  
  OR
  
  sensorStates:DRIVER_INIT_REBOOT_REQUIRED OR sensorStates:DRIVER_LOAD_PENDING OR sensorStates:DRIVER_INIT_ERROR
