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)`

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element	Description
Default Settings	Inventory Scan. Uses default configuration setting for the scanner. Defines a set of options suitable for a general inventory. Enough software information is collected to allow comprehensive inventory analysis. All hardware information is collected and a standard series of asset data fields are defined. Shallow Scan. Defines a set of options to allow very quick scans. Because hardware scanning is very fast, most hardware items (some are disabled by default) are collected, but limited software scanning takes place, and the data collected is not sufficient to perform reliable software license recognition. Detailed Scan. If scanning time is not a critical factor, this option can be used to collect the maximum amount of information. This, however, extends the scanning time significantly. Note Use this option in special cases only. Enable scanning of Java class file. If you select Inventory Scan or Detailed Scan (see above), you can enable Java scanning. Enabling this option does the following: Java .class files are stored in the scan file. Java specific environment variables for targeted scanning is enabled. Windows scanner adds the location of the Java Home directory to the list of directories for a targeted scan.
Stored Settings	Read From Server. Reads the settings from a previous Enterprise Mode configuration stored on the server. The drop down combo box lists previously configured scanner configurations. The names displayed with angle brackets around them (for example, <default>) are predefined configurations. It is possible to read predefined configuration settings, but it is not possible to overwrite them when generating the new configuration. If you choose a predefined configuration, you must rename it when you come to the last page of the Scanner Generator wizard in order to save it to the server. If you save this configuration, it will be available from the server with the other previous configurations. Read From File. Replaces various configuration settings by reading information from files on the local machine. It can read parameters from previously generated scanners, scanner configuration files (.cxz), and scan files (.xsf). When the file name is provided, the Scanner Generator determines the type of the file based on the file extension, which eliminates the need to have a separate entry for each.
