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.

Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

The nature of this job is to report a Node CI when you have a MAC address from switches or routers that belongs to the Client IP range and the MAC address contains the prefix 008064 (which means that is the Wyse thin client). This job is created to cover the gap between DDMI and Universal Discovery.

This job runs on top of data present in the Data Flow Probe database. The precondition is that the input data are only IP addresses of the Client range type. The IP MAC Harvesting by SNMP job must run before the Thin Clients MAC-based Detection job in order to take effect.
