What is a “Rover”?

  • Rover is often confused with Search.  A “Rover” is the top level element that is added when you enter a new search.  We don’t call it a “search” because a Rover can contain multiple searches.  If you create a weekly rover for a TV show, for example, you may have a Rover called “TV Show” and have searches like “TV Show S01E01” and “TV Show S01E02”.  See the image below…
