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.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

Rule Topology Pane

The Rule Topology pane in the Correlation Rules manager displays a graphical representation of the selected correlation rule, including all the configuration item types configured in the rule as well as any relationships between the included configuration item types and other correlation rules that use the same indicator states. The Correlation Rules manager uses color to indicate the role of a configuration item type in a correlation rule, for example, to show if a configuration item is configured as a symptom (blue) or a cause (orange).

Configuration item types are only displayed in the Rule Topology pane if you select a rule or apply a view from the View list.

The Rule Topology pane displays the UI elements listed in the following table. In the table, unlabeled UI elements are shown in angle brackets (<>).

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
	Indicates that the configuration item type has an indicator state that is configured as a symptom in the selected correlation rule. Tip To see which indicator states are configured in the correlation rule. Select Toggle Display of Details button which opens the Details window for the selected Rule Topology.
	Indicates that the configuration item type has an indicator state that is configured as a cause in the selected correlation rule.
	Indicates that the configuration item type has an indicator state that is configured not only as a cause in the selected correlation rule, but also as a symptom in another rule. The name of the other correlation rule is displayed as a hyperlink above the configuration item symbol.
	Indicates that the configuration item type has an indicator state that is configured not only as a symptom in the selected correlation rule, but also as a cause in another rule. The name of the other correlation rule is displayed as a hyperlink below the configuration item symbol.
	Adds the highlighted link (constraint) to the correlation rule. Adding a link enables the path between the linked objects in the context of the correlation rule, which is a requirement for topology-based event correlation. It does not change the View model in any way.
	Removes the highlighted link (constraint) from the correlation rule you are editing. The link between the two objects is no longer recognized in the context of the correlation rule, and any rule that relies on this link no longer works. Removing a link from a correlation rule does not change the View model in any way.
Layout	Selects alternative ways of viewing the Rule Topology diagram. There are three options to choose from: `Hierarchical`, `Circular`, and `Concentric Radial`.
Levels	Selects the depth of topology levels displayed in the Rule Topology diagram.
View	Displays the views you can use to define which configuration item types are available for inclusion in the selected correlation rule. All views are available in the list before you select a view. After you select a view, the views displayed in the list are restricted to those which contain any of the configuration item types in the selected correlation rule. If the Rules Topology pane is empty, see Rules Topology Pane is Empty.
Visible CI Types	States the number of CI types displayed and the total number of CI types included in the correlation rule. Format: number of CI types displayed/total number of CI types in correlation rule, for example, 3/4.
Zoom	Controls the size of the displayed Rule Topology diagram.
