Expression types:

sub

Specify as

simply "match" or "sub(match)"

Example

sub(mail) matches the phrase "Hexamail produces server software"

SUB

Case sensitive substring

Specify as

"SUB(match)"

Example

SUB(mail) does not match the phrase "HexaMail produces server software"

cmp

Case insensitive exact match

Specify as

"cmp(match)"

Example

cmp(mail) matches ONLY the entire exact string "mAil"

CMP

Specify as

"CMP(match)"

Example
