5.  Select a pre-programmed Title policy from the list. The following titles policies are available pre-programmed within Web Governance:
    *   **Page titles that contain Lorem ipsum**
        
        This policy finds any page titles that include “Lorem ipsum” (the placeholder text). Helps to spot any overlooked areas where the actual content has not yet been inserted.
        
        Most likely policy type: _Unwanted_
        
        Subject: _HTML pages_
        
6.  Assign [Rule Operators](#h_dbdd5040aa).
7.  Assign [Rules](#h_ef7d0b9315).
8.  Click **Save** to save the changes. A dialog box opens.
    *   Enter the policy **Name** (required) and **Note** if needed into the dialog box and then click **Save**.
    *   Select **+Add rule to the policy**.from the options at the top of the page. Repeat the steps above to add as many rules as needed.
    *   Click **Save**. The _Policy List_ is open and the new policy is present. A Policy scan begins automatically.

Custom Examples
---------------

To create this policy, check the RegEx, clear the case sensitive box, and then enter the following in the Query field:

    <title>.*SEARCH.*<\/title>

Replace the word SEARCH in the above line with what you want to find inside the title tag.

Example:

    <title>.*test.*<\/title>

would match:

    <title>This is a test title</title>
