The Left/Right rule

The pattern matching function can be viewed as having a "left" portion and a "right" portion.

  • On the left is a Descriptor name, which represents a field containing a character string.
  • On the right is a pattern that is matched against the character string contained in the Descriptor named on the left.



 

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