Search expressions how-to:
  • This search engine is case insensitive.
  • Globbing: Use an asterisk to signify any letters. For example, [tues*] matches 'tuesday' and 'tuesdays'. You can't use the asterisk at the beginning of a word.
  • Single wildcards: Use a question mark to signify one letter. For example, [ro?e] matches 'rope', 'rote', 'role', and so on. You can't use the question mark at the beginning of a word.
  • And: Using 'and' signifies that both terms on other side of it must exist. For example, [rome and tuesday] will return only a result with both those words are in the content. This is the default when you just type 2 or more words.
  • Or: Using 'or' signifies that either terms can exist. For example, [rome or tuesday] will return a result if either of those words are in the content.
  • Not: Using 'not' returns results where this isn't present (a prefix [and] is required). For example, [welcome and not page] would return matches for pages that contained 'welcome', but not 'page'.
  • Phrases: You can group phrases with double quotes (") and signify several words one after the other. For example: ["welcome page"] matches 'This welcome page is used to introduce...', but not 'Welcome to the front page of...'.
  • Not phrase: You can specify a phrase with a minus (-) prefix. For example, [welcome -"welcome page"] matches all pages with 'welcome' in them, but not ones that match the phrase 'welcome page'.
  • Parentheses: Control search order with parenthetical expressions: [((bob and uncle) and not Zoo*)] will return all objects that contain the terms 'bob' and 'uncle' but will not include any objects that contain words that start with 'Zoo' like 'Zoologist', 'Zoology', or 'Zoo' itself.
