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.

Trigger Query Editor Window

Enables you to edit a TQL query that has been defined to trigger jobs.

To access	Select Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Discovery Modules/Jobs tab > Properties tab > Trigger Queries pane > a TQL query, and click the Open the Query Editor button.
Important Information	A Trigger query associated with a job is a subset of the Input query, and defines which specific CIs should be the Trigger CIs for a job. That is, if an Input query queries for IPs running SNMP, a Trigger query queries for IPs running SNMP in the range 195.0.0.0-195.0.0.10.
