| 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*.
