String Search Targets and Settings

Each row in the following table describes a test case. The columns are as follows:

• Case: The test case id.
• Strings: Strings that should be entered into the search tool. In general, the text in the string column is what you are searching for, but there are exceptions:
• Test cases FT-SS-04, 05 & 06 are searching for logical combinations of two strings. Test case 04 is searching for a file with both the strings "panda" and "fox"; test case 05 is looking for files with either "Were" or "DireW" as a substring in the file; and test case 06 is looking for a file with the string "fox" but not the string "tiger". You need to see how to specify the logical operations for each case.
• There is no string to enter for tools with built-in searches. In other words, you select something that means "find social security numbers" or "email addresses" (in general) and not a specific string.
• For test case FT-SS-07-Norm you are testing searching for alternate representations of the same string. You must enter the string by copy/paste twice, once for each representation. The two versions of each string look the same, but they are different. Both need to be tested (separate searches are recommended). The two representations are in the file: "ft-ss-07-Norm-strings.txt". just open the file with notepad and copy/paste.
  
• For non-English text, use copy/paste to enter the string into the string search tool.
• Options: Before you start a search you must set any required search options listed in the Options column. What an option is called varies from tool to tool and may not even be supported. Just make a reasonable choice and document the choice. The option settings are varied across the test cases to achieve tests with the most permutations. "Unicode=True" means turn on searching for UTF-8, UTF-16-BE and UTF-16-LE. If an option isn't mentioned, any setting should do, but try to make a reasonable choice. You may have to select a "language"; it should be OK to search for all the languages used here at the same time, but if you are missing some strings, try one language at a time. The languages used are: Arabic, Chinese (traditional & simplified), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese (Kanji, hiragana & katakana), Korean, Russian and Spanish.
