A '''logical search list''' is a type of [[Logical Name|logical name]] that has several equivalence strings. When a logical search list is used in a command like DIRECTORY, the system searches in the locations specified by all equivalence strings; when it is used in a command like CREATE, the object is created at the first available location. In the following example, a logical search list SUB is defined for two directories, SUB and SUB1:

<nowiki>
SMAN43$ define sub dsa1:[jdoe.sub],dsa1:[jdoe.sub1]
SMAN43$ dir sub

Directory DSA1:[JDOE.SUB]

ORIGINAL.LIS;1 SUB2.DIR;1

Total of 2 files.

Directory DSA1:[JDOE.SUB1]

A.COM;3 A.COM;2 A.COM;1 A.LIS;2

Total of 4 files.

Grand total of 2 directories, 6 files.

SMAN43$ create sub:b.lis
test Exit
SMAN43$ dir sub

Directory DSA1:[JDOE.SUB]

B.LIS;1 ORIGINAL.LIS;1 SUB2.DIR;1

Total of 3 files.

Directory DSA1:[JDOE.SUB1]

A.COM;3 A.COM;2 A.COM;1 A.LIS;2

Total of 4 files.

Grand total of 2 directories, 7 files.
</nowiki>

Many default logicals like [[SYS$SYSTEM]] and [[SYS$MANAGER]] are logical search lists pointing to both the system-specific and the [[Cluster|clusterwide]] version of that directory.
