Full word matches

By default, a keyword matches either a full word or a keyword. To match a single word, enclose the keyword in quotes with a leading and trailing blank space.

Information
Example

The expression su (with a leading and trailing blank space) will match the su user, or su login, or login by su but not super user successfully logged in.

Warning

Note

The leading blank space matches either a blank or the beginning of a line, and the trailing blank space matches either a blank or the end of the line. 

This provides an easy mechanism for matching a full word rather than a partial match to a part of the message, regardless of whether that word occurs at the beginning, middle, or end of a message.

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