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)`

Federation Mapping Approach

Federation mapping is achieved by mapping the sub-TQL queries used by the UCMDB Federation Framework to process a federation request. The general idea is that when a federation request is received by the Generic Adapter, what happens is this:

Analyze the dynamic federation TQL query and compare it with a list of static federation TQL queries defined by the user.
A static TQL query match is made. This TQL query is used to identify the needed mapping for the given federation request and to create the RTN Structure (a Java object that will illustrate the tree node structure that is needed from the connector) input argument that will be supplied to the federation connector. (For more information, see the push-interfaces.jar file)
Send the federation call with the TQL argument to the connector.
Map the incoming RTN trees sent by the connector in the same way as for population. See Achieving Data Population using the Generic Adapter.
