Hi,
  there have been some changes on http://technical.edugain.org/entities.php
Please do a reload of the page to make sure that all components have
been refreshed.
The most important difference is the addition of entity search. You can
do a simple search on EntityID or a full text search in the entire
entity. We hope this will be useful.

You can do quite a lot with full text search (see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/fulltext-boolean.html), however
you cannot do a simple negation, therefore an additional, negate
possibility was added, which I have called "Whole entity multiword
search as exclude", but would welcome a better phrase. The best
illustration for using this is filtering by word "test" - you can either
list those that do have a "test" in the entity, or just filter them out
(this tells us that edugain has 65 "test" IdPs  , add 122 SPs).

The EntityID search is the default setting now, if you think that the
"While entity multiword search" would be a better choice, please let me
know.

There has also been a small change in the Entity details layout and
NameID format has been added to the display.

Tomasz
