Explanation

Reusable pieces of search processing language. The explanation is as follows: Search macros are knowledge objects that allow you to insert chunks of SPL into other searches. Search macros can be any part of a search, such as an eval statement or a search term, and do not need to be a complete command. You can also specify whether the macro field takes any arguments and define validation expressions for them. Search macros can help you make your SPL searches shorter and easier to understand. To use a search macro in a search string, you need to put a backtick character () before and after the macro name[^1^][1].
