You can use quotation marks for backward compatibility. Filters, for instance, are saved with quotation marks. If you use quotation marks, be sure to apply the following quoting rules:

  • STRING—String values must be quoted only when the value starts with a single quotation mark ( ' ) or with a double quotation mark ( " ). You do not need to quote a STRING value containing a single quotation mark ( ' ) within the value. 
  • LIST_OF_STRING—String list items must be quoted only when the value starts with a single quotation mark ( ' ) or with a double quotation mark ( " ). Quotation marks must be used if the list includes a comma (,) or a bracket (]) because these characters determine the end of a string item.

Example

For the value 'this is a test', enter '''this is a test'''.

The first double quotation mark indicates that a quoted value is being entered. The first quotation mark must be a double quotation mark because it is a quote character inside a quoted string value.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
