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 Definition Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to create a graph that represents additional TQL query data related to a specific CI.

To access	To access in Enrichment Manager, Impact Analysis Manager, and the Modeling Studio: In the editing pane, right-click the required query node and select Subgraph Definition. Note If you are using Enrichment Manager, select Query mode at the top of the editing pane to display the Subgraph Definition option. To access in Adapter Management in DFM: Select an adapter in the Resources pane. In the Adapter Definition tab, click the Edit Input Query button to the right of the Input Query box to open the Input Query Editor. Right-click the required query node and select Subgraph Definition.
Important information	The following icon is displayed next to the query node for which you define a subgraph:

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
	Add. Adds a subgraph definition. In Enrichment Manager, Impact Analysis Manager, and the Input Query Editor in DFM, click to open the Add Triplet dialog box. In the Modeling Studio, click to add a row to the table.
	Delete. Deletes the selected subgraph definition.
	Condition. Enables you to edit a subgraph definition. In Impact Analysis Manager, Enrichment Manager, and the Input Query Editor in DFM, it opens the Edit Triplet dialog box. In the Modeling Studio, it opens the Subgraph Condition Definition dialog box.
Depth	A number that represents the longest path (that is, the maximum number of connecting query nodes) allowed between two CIs in the CMDB that should be included in the DFM process. Default: 5
Element condition exists	A green asterisk appears next to either the source, relationship, or target in the subgraph definition if an attribute condition has been defined for one of them in the Subgraph Condition Definition dialog box. For details, see Subgraph Condition Definition Dialog Box.
Relationship	The relationship selected connecting the source to the target query node.
Relationship Direction	The direction of the relationship selected, indicating which query node is dependent on the other.
Source	The required source query node selected.
Target	The required target query node selected.
