Scope

The scope of a query is all the entity types, link types and fields that have been searched. Each entity type and link type, and any fields within that item type that were searched in the query can be shown.

You can use the Scope dialog to view a list of all the types and fields that have been searched when running a query. This is particularly useful when you run a query that uses semantic types, because you might not know beforehand which entity types, link types or fields have been assigned the semantic type selected in the query.

When you click Results to run the query, the Results screen is displayed and the Scope option is available. To open the Scope dialog, click the Scope... button.
