Follow these guidelines when specifying values:

The value can be partial text or whole words
Enclose strings and date/time values in 'single quotes'
To specify date values, use the Date Format as specified in Company Information
To search for a blank (empty) string, use two single quotes, with nothing between them ('').
To search for a blank (empty) field of other kinds, use a field value of BLANK
To include multiple values for a field, separate each value using the pipe symbol (|)
To include a single quote in the value, specify four single quotes ('''').

For example, to search for the phrase, That's right! you would specify 'That''''s right!'.
