How does keyword matching work for Rules?
Rules support several operators for keyword matching:
  • contains: Keyword can occur anywhere in the description.
  • contains phrase: Descriptions contains keyword as an exact phrase.
  • starts with: Description starts with keyword.
  • equals: Description exactly equals keyword.
  • matches wildcard: Description matches keyword using a wildcard pattern (see example below).
Note that keyword matching is always case insensitive, i.e., it does not matter if the description or keywords have uppercase or lowercase letters.
Examples:
