Remarks
If Term objects appear that have not been validated on the client, this method tries to validate them. If it can find a single match to a Term, it will apply that Term. If it finds more than one match, it will return false. If it cannot find any matches and the control object is set up to create new Term objects, it will create a new Term. Running the Validate(System.String@) method can change the value of the Text() property.
