<quickSearch>
Description
This tag is a simple search string that is used for performance reasons. It cannot be a regular
expression. If the string is found in the current document, the rest of the search patterns are called
to locate specific instances. This string can be empty to always use the search patterns.

Type
Block tag.
Required
No.
Value
The searchString value is a literal string that exists on the page if the participant exists. The
string should be as unique as possible to maximize performance, but the string does not have to
be definitively unique. It is not case-sensitive, but be careful with nonessential spaces that can be
changed by the user, as shown in the following example:
<quickSearch>Response.Redirect</quickSearch>
If the quickSearch tag is empty, it is considered to match, and more precise searches use the
regular expressions that are defined in the
searchPattern tags. This is helpful if a simple string
cannot be used to express a reliable search pattern and regular expressions are required.
<insertText>
Description
This tag provides information about what to insert in the document and where to insert it. It
contains the text to insert. Parts of the text that are customized should be indicated by using the
@@parameterName@@ format.
In some cases, such as a translator-only participant, you might not need this tag.
