  • Searches that use the implied search command

    For some SPL searches, you must add the search command when you use the spl1 command.

    In the SPL, the search command is implied at the beginning of some searches, such as searches that start with a keyword or a field-value pair. Unless your SPL search begins with a generating command like inputlookup, makeresults, mstats, or tstats, you must include the search command when you use the spl1 command. See spl1 command examples.

    When to include the index in your search

    In an SPL2 search, there is no default index. You must specify the index that you want to search either before or within the spl1 command portion of the search. See spl1 command examples.

    Searches that contain quotation marks

    When your SPL search contains quotation marks, it is easier to use the spl1 command backtick ( ` ) character syntax. When you use the explicit spl1 command syntax, you must escape the quotation marks. See spl1 command examples.

    Searches with macros or subsearches

    You can't use the spl1 command with SPL searches that contain macros or subsearches.
