Documentation

Definition

The "search term" refers to the character string to be located in a text. It can contain a maximum of 40 characters. The special characters '*' and '+' can function as placeholders, whereby

* stands for an unspecified number of characters (or no character) and

+ for a single character.

In a comparison the search terms in the search expression and the words in the text are standardized as follows:

• the words in the text are delimited by blanks.
• Lower case letters are transformed to upper case letters.
• All special characters in or attached to text words are ignored.
• Only the special characters '+' and '*' are preserved in search terms (and implement generic searches).
• SAPscript control characters are ignored in text words.
• Umlauts and the 'ß' character are converted to the 'E' form and to 'SS' respectively.
