This feature allows you to use the same search options and search string for a
new Processing and/or Data Extract Job rather than manually selecting the
search options again and retyping in the same search string.
Note: If you Cancel out of this dialog, then the search terms remain
unchanged.
1. Select the search item in the listview screen. When you select it, you will
see its search string displayed in the text box below. Note: Clicking a
search item in the listview will replace whatever is in the textbox with
the search string of the selected search.
2. Select one of the following options:
• Use all search options - to use the search options that were
selected for that search item.
• Use search string only - to change only the search string.
3. Click OK. It will replace the search form’s search string with the current
contents of the search request textbox. It will also return you to the
Search Criteria tab where you may modify the search options, if neces-
sary.
4. Continue selecting additional options in the Flex Processor Rules Man-
ager. The search will be added to the listview in the Search Request dia-
log. You may then select that search item for a future search.

(and, or, not, ...), and Natural Language. Only one can be selected at a time.

“plain English” queries. The Boolean operators AND & OR are disre-
garded. Examples follow:
You may use "quotation marks" around phrases. For example, “personal
computer”. Quotes are used when the search requires that the words are
contiguous and in the order they are indicated.
add + in front of any word or phrase to require it
add - in front of any word or phrase or to exclude it
Example: "personal computer" -monitor +"flash drive"
