Filter Search Specification Syntax in Backus-Naur Format
Filter searching can be performed through the user interface controls (exposed through special filter applet), or specified in the filter search Specification property of the Search Definition category. The syntax is slightly different when done through the user interface, but in all cases the syntax is simple BNF (Backus-Naur Format).
