Typographical Conventions in This Document
This SOSL reference uses specific typographical conventions.
Use the following typographical conventions:
| Convention | Description |
|---|---|
| FIND Name IN Account | Courier font indicates items that you should type as shown. In a syntax statement, Courier font also indicates items that you should type as shown, except for curly braces, square brackets, ellipsis, and other typographical markers explained in this table. |
| FIND fieldname IN objectname | Italics represent a variable or placeholder. You supply the actual value. |
| | | The pipe character separates alternate elements. For example, in the clause UPDATE TRACKING|VIEWSTAT[,...], the | character indicates that you can use either TRACKING or VIEWSTAT after UPDATE. |
| [LIMIT n] | Square brackets indicate an optional element. For example, [LIMIT n] means that you can specify a LIMIT clause. Don’t type square brackets as part of a SOSL command. Nested square brackets indicate elements that are optional and can only be used if the parent optional element is present. For example, in the clause [ORDER BY fieldname [ASC | DESC] [NULLS {FIRST | LAST}]] , ASC, DESC, or the NULLS clause cannot be used without the ORDER BY clause. |
| [...] and [,...] | Square brackets containing an ellipsis indicate that the preceding element can
be repeated up to the limit for the element. If a comma is also present, the
repeated elements must be separated by commas. If the element is a list of choices
grouped with curly braces, you can use items from the list in any order. For
example, in the clause [ [ [ UPDATE
[TRACKING|VIEWSTAT][,...]], the [,...] indicates that you can use TRACKING, VIEWSTAT, or
both: |
