Definition

You can search for arbitrary characters or character sequences by using this option. The input is interpreted as text or as text pattern.

Internally the search is mapped to the ABAP statement <text> in <sel_opt>, where <text> is the content of a character like field and <sel_opt> are the selection options given by the user.
