Keyword Search 

Notice that the first row of the free-form search grid does not correspond to a field in the table. Instead it is labeled Keyword and supports a special kind of free-form search. With Keyword search, each string of characters separated by a space that you type is treated as a distinct keyword. When you perform a Keyword search, the MDM Client searches simultaneously against all of the fields that have been flagged (in the MDM Console) to participate in Keyword searches rather than searching against just a single field. Keyword search matches a record if it can match all of the keywords you typed somewhere within any of the flagged fields of the record. The operator determines the kind of match required for each of the typed keywords. For example, contains requires that somewhere in the flagged set of fields, the record must include keywords that contain each of the keyword values you typed.

Each of the Keyword search operators starts with the word “keyword” to highlight the fact that they behave slightly differently than the corresponding literal search operators.

Keyword searches are different than literal searches in that they break up the search string into search keywords, each of which is matched against the pre-indexed set of keywords in the field or record.

The keywords you type do not need to be found next to each other.
