    `MibSymbol` | `findSymbol(java.lang.String name, boolean expanded)` Searches for a named MIB symbol.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### findSymbol

          MibSymbol findSymbol(java.lang.String name,
                               boolean expanded)

      Searches for a named MIB symbol. This method may search outside the normal (or strict) scope, thereby allowing a form of relaxed search. Note that the results from the normal and expanded search may not be identical, due to the context chaining and the same symbol name appearing in various contexts.

      NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

      Parameters:
        `name` - the symbol name
        `expanded` - the expanded scope flag
      Returns:
        the MIB symbol, or null if not found
