| Phrase search.
|
| The search engine supports
three types of phrase search. |
To match an exact phrase,
use quotes around the phrase.
Example:
"small town
in the province of Chieti".
|
To match a near (within
a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets around the words.
Example:
[small
town the province Chieti]
the search engine find "small
town in the province of
Chieti".
|
To match a far (within
several words) phrase, use braces around the words.
Example:
{small
town of Chieti}
the search engine find "small
town in
the province of
Chieti".
|
| +
and - qualifiers.
|
If you prepend a word with +
that word is required to be on the page.
|
If you prepend a word
with - that word is required to
not be on the page.
Example:
+always -never.
|
| *
Wildcard. |
If a query word ends
with a * all words on a page which
start the same way as that query word will match.
Example:
tow* (the search engine find towel,
tower,
town,
etc.)
|
| ? Wildcard. |
If a query word contains
a ? any character will match that
position.
Example:
sm??l
(the search engine find small,
smell, etc.)
|
| Boolean
search (AND, OR,
NOT). |
You can use the following boolean
operators in your search: AND, OR,
NOT. These operators MUST
be in capital letters.
Example:
Fallo AND fallesi (The search engine
find all the pages containing whether
the word "Fallo" or
whether the word "fallesi"),
Fallo OR
fallesi (The search engine find all the pages containing
or the word "Fallo"
or the word "fallesi").

|
All of these techniques can be combined:
+alway* -ne??r*.
