Why does Splunk documentation not mention Tab as a delimiter character

Hi,

 

The "Tab" character is shown as one of the delimiter characters in the automatic field extraction UI, so why is tab not mentioned in the documentation ? 

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/Knowledge/FXSelectMethodstep

Considering that tab is offered as an option in the UI but not mentioned in the documentation, what would be correct answer in the certification exams ?

 

Thanks

Did you try sending docs feedback on the page? They can clarify if it needs to be corrected.
