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.

Ordering

Some NNMi console configuration forms include the Ordering attribute, which sets the priority for applying the configurations. For one configuration area, NNMi evaluates each item against the configurations from the smallest (lowest) ordering number to the next lowest ordering number, and so on, until NNMi finds a match. At that point, NNMi uses the information from the matching configuration and ceases to look for any more matches. (The communication configuration is an exception. NNMi continues to search for information at other levels to complete the communication settings.)

The Ordering attribute plays an important role in NNMi configuration. If you see unexpected discovery or status results, check the ordering of the configurations for that area.

Ordering applies within the local context. The Menus and Menu Items tables contain multiple objects with the same ordering number because of the local context idea.

Ordering numbers are also used in the following places, but with different meanings:

Ordering on the Menu and Menu Item forms sets the order of items in the local context of the associated menu.
Topology maps ordering on the Node Group Map Settings form sets the order of items in the Topology Maps workspace.

For specific information about how the Ordering attribute affects a given configuration area, see the NNMi help for that area.

Note For each configuration area, apply low ordering numbers to the most restrictive configurations, and apply high ordering numbers to the least restrictive configurations.

Note For each configuration area, all ordering numbers must be unique. During initial configuration use ordering numbers with a standard interval to provide flexibility for future modifications to the configuration. For example, give the first three configurations the ordering numbers 100, 200, and 300.
