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.

This dialog box enables you to define the connection between two query nodes using a join relationship.

To access	In Enrichment Manager or Impact Analysis Manager, click the Add button in the Add Join Relationship dialog box.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
<Selected query node1>	A selected query node. The first attribute applies to <end_1>.
<Selected query node2>	A selected query node. The second attribute applies to <end_2>.
Operator	Select one of the following operators: Equal. The system checks whether two selected attributes are equal. Not equal. The system checks whether two selected attributes are not equal. Sub string. The system checks whether the value of the first attribute is a substring of the value of the second attribute. Sub string ignore case. The system checks whether the value of the first attribute is a substring of the value of the second attribute regardless of the string's case. Note When using the operator Not equal, ensure that both sides of the join relationship have a limited result size. It is recommended to define more specific conditions so as not to overload the system with large results.
