There are two ways to search all databases: (1) The "--resource" flag, you don't need to specify all database names, but the search key must be a resource (i.e., an IP prefix/range or an AS number). (2) The "--sources" flag, you do need to specify each database name, and the search key can be a text string (e.g. an organisation name). > So I started with a simple search like: > https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?bflag=true&dflag=false&rflag=true&searchtext=marlink&source=RIPE&types=organisation <https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?bflag=true&dflag=false&rflag=true&searchtext=marlink&source=RIPE&types=organisation> > > 1 hit.

Shouldn't I have had at least 1 hit from RIPE for this search? > Choosing the "Search resource objects in all available databases" radio button on the query page, forces the "--resource" flag, and not the "--sources" flag. So you can't search all databases for a text string, only for a resource, because the "--resources" flag is used for all databases, and not the ""--sources" flag. As a workaround, you can include the "--sources" flag yourself in the input field, e.g. https://apps.db.ripe.net/db-web-ui/query?searchtext=marlink&types=organisation&rflag=true&source=RIPE&source=APNIC-GRS&source=AFRINIC-GRS&source=ARIN-GRS&source=LACNIC-GRS&bflag=true To be clear, we should improve this behaviour to allow searching all databases for text, not only for a resource.
