-Trivy only parses [version specifiers](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/#id5) with `==` comparison operator and without `.*`.
-To convert unsupported version specifiers - use the `pip  freeze` command.
+By default, Trivy only parses [version specifiers](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/version-specifiers/#id5) with `==` comparison operator and without `.*`.
+
+Using the [--detection-priority comprehensive](#detection-priority) option ensures that the tool establishes a minimum version, which is particularly useful in scenarios where identifying the exact version is challenging. 
+In such case Trivy parses specifiers `>=`,`~=` and a trailing `.*`.
+
+```
+keyring >= 4.1.1            # Minimum version 4.1.1
+Mopidy-Dirble ~= 1.1        # Minimum version 1.1
+python-gitlab==2.0.*        # Minimum version 2.0.0
+```
+Also, there is a way to convert unsupported version specifiers - use the `pip  freeze` command.
