Use
There are two different ways of searching for terms in SAPterm
This is a simple search method where the system looks though the table keys of the terminology database. These table keys are stored in uppercase, which means that the search is not case-sensitive, and does not consider special characters.
This search method enables you to define further criteria, for example, if you only want to search for terms within a specific application component, or terms created by a specific user. This search is case-sensitive, and can distinguish special characters.
Prerequisites
You must enter a term.
The terminology database supports generic searches with "*".
For performance reasons, a general search with only "*" is not possible when searching from the initial screen of SAPterm.
