Search Tips
+- A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be
present in every match returned. -- A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be
present in any match returned. < >- These two operators are used to change a word’s contribution to the
relevance value that is assigned to a match. The<operator
decreases the contribution and the>operator increases it.
See the example below. ( )- Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions.
~- A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word’s
contribution to the match relevance to be negative. It’s useful for marking
noise words. A match that contains such a word will be rated lower than
others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the
-operator. *- An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it
should be appended to the word, not prepended. "- The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes
", matches only
items that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
And here are some examples:
service circular- find matches that contain at least one of these words.
+service +circular- … both words.
+circular salary- … word “circular”, but rank it higher if it also contain “salary”.
+circular -salary- … word “apple” but not “macintosh”.
+circular +(>salary <022007)- … “circular” and “salary”, or “circular” and “022007″ (in any
order), but rank “circular salary” higher than “circular 022007″. circula*- … “cirulate”, ” circulated”, and “circular”.
"some words"- … “some words of wisdom”, but not “some noise words”.
