File data search will search for the requested terms from within the data you have programmed into the panel. If the example above were changed to 'File Data Search', you would only see options you have programmed containing the word zone. In the case of a defaulted PC1864 panel, you would see zones 9-64 definitions and the 'Restorals on' options. This is because the zones 9-64 definitions will be, by default, "00 Null ''Zone''" which the file data search will find, and the 'Restorals on' option is set to "Zone Activity" by default.
