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.

Collecting Topology Data

Topology discovery is the process of populating the Run-time Service Model database (RTSM) with CI and CI relationship data. Accurate CI topology information provided by discovery of the system infrastructure is essential for Operations Manager i components, for example, for Topology-based Event Correlation (TBEC) or context-specific tools.

Topology discovery and synchronization enables you to write your own discovery scripts and mapping rules. The discovery scripts discover topology data, the mapping rules map the discovered data to the CI and CI relation model used in the RTSM. The processed and transformed topology data is then stored in the RTSM.

The advantage of using topology discovery and synchronization is that you can separate the discovery technology from the RTSM data model. If the RTMS data model changes, you only need to update the mapping files, not the discovery scripts.
