Informant handles unstructured information. That is why we use Regular Expressions (Regex) for powerful filtering. Regex is a sequence of characters (text, numbers and variables, boundaries and more) which the textblock we capture must match) that specifies a search pattern.

The text Informant capture is matched against a Regex to create a Hit.

Some ground rules:

1. No filter lets everything pass through

2. Simple string
   A keyword ord expression that must be met in whole
   Example:

   United Kingdom

3. OR logic
   Separate expressions with a vertical line (also called ”pipe” | ) on the same row
   

   Example:

   USA|Russia (Note the pipe)

4. AND logic
   Put expressions on different rows
   You can add as many rows you need. All rows must be true

   Example:

   USA
   Russia

5. NOT logic
   If a row starts with a minus sign ”-” it is true if the expression does not occur

   Example:

   USA
   Russia
   -England

6. Filter is not case sensitive (UPPER and lower case doesn’t matter)
