Search by Keyword

The Dashboard accepts any number of search keywords, up to 99 characters that make up the search term criteria.  The search term criteria is then matched against the fields in one or more focus areas of the event records, such as the URL of a web site.   At least one field must match the search term criteria before a record is returned as a match.  In addition, if the “Include partial matches” checkbox is selected, a search of “soft” will match “SpectorSoft”.

Search Term Criteria

blue sky

Both words, "blue" and "sky," must be found in one of the selected fields in any arrangement, such as "blue sky" or "blue water and dark sky." If the words are found in separate fields ("blue" in the URL and "sky" in the Window Caption) it is not a match.

"blue sky"

Quotation marks specify an exact match. The phrase "blue sky" must have an identical match in any selected field.

blue OR sky

Using the OR operator, either word can be matched; "blue sky," "blue water," or just "sky" in a selected field would return the record.

"blue sky" OR "dark sky"

This combination of the OR operator and quotations specifies matching either the exact phrase "blue sky" or the phrase "dark sky" in any selected field.
