A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Interface Groups

Interface groups filter interfaces within nodes by IFType or by other attributes, such as ifAlias, ifDesc, ifName, ifIndex, IP address, and so forth. Interface groups carry no hierarchy or containment, although you can further qualify membership based on the node group for the node hosting the interface.

Interface groups can be filtered on custom capabilities and attributes similarly to node groups.

Qualifications for interface groups are AND’d together within and across tabs.

Note Interfaces in an Interface Group are not always initially excluded during discovery under the following conditions:

The interface group is created by filtering on one or more interface capabilities in the interface group definition.
The interface group is specified in the Excluded Interfaces Discovery Configuration option.

After the interface capabilities are applied to an interface in the interface group, it will be excluded when the exclusion filter is re-applied during a rediscovery.

See the NNMi Online Help for Administrators for more information about the Interface Capabilities provided by NNMi and the Excluded Interfaces Discovery Configuration option.
