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`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Subgraph Condition Definition Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to create conditions that restrict the number of query nodes that appear in the query.

To access

In Impact Analysis Manager, Enrichment Manager and the Input Query Editor in DFM, click Condition in the Add Triplet dialog box.

In the Modeling Studio, click Condition in the Subgraph Definition dialog box.

Important information

Contains the following tabs:

Attribute. Enables you to define attribute conditions for query nodes and relationships. See a description of the elements in the Attribute tab in the table below. Each row represents an attribute condition that you specify. Use the And/Or column and the Brackets columns to link multiple conditions. In this way, you can construct a more precise logical statement to generate the required results.
Qualifiers (for Enrichment Manager, Impact Analysis Manager, and the Input Query Editor in DFM). Enables you to define qualifier conditions for the selected query node or relationship. For details, see Qualifier Tab.
Element Type (for the Modeling Studio). Enables you to define subtype conditions for the selected query node or relationship. For details, see Element Type Tab.

Relevant tasks

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
	Add. Adds the subgraph condition definition.
	Delete. Deletes the subgraph condition definition.
	Up. Moves a selected row up.
	Down. Moves a selected row down.
	Show Criteria. Displays the subgraph condition definition in a pop-up dialog box.
And/Or	Click inside the And/Or field and select either And or Or to link multiple conditions.
Attribute name	Choose an attribute from the list.
Brackets	Click inside the Brackets box to display a list of brackets you can use to build more complex, logical statements.
CIT	Contains the CIT selected from the Source and Target lists. Note This option is not relevant when accessing the dialog box from the Modeling Studio.
Criteria	Contains the attribute condition definition as defined in the CI Instances Dialog Box.
Not	Select NOT if you want the condition statement to do the opposite of what is defined. Note If you select NOT, query results do not include data from the CI instances that were not assigned a value. For example, let us assume that your system contains three nodes. Node1 is assigned the value A, Node2 is assigned the value B and Node3 is not assigned a value. If you create a query in which you want to retrieve all nodes that are equal to A and you select NOT, the results of your query only include Node2 because Node3 is not assigned a value.
Operator	Select the required operator. For details, see Attribute Operator Definitions.
Value	Enter or select the value of the attribute. The Value options vary according to the attribute type you select.
