Searching Hints & Tips
The search engine can accept different types of search criteria as a query. The simplest is a single word or group of words. In this case the result will be articles that contain one or more of those words. The search is not case-sensitive.
The text search engine allows queries to be formed from arbitrary Boolean expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, and grouped with parentheses. For example:
- dog cat
- finds documents containing 'dog' or 'cat'
- dog or cat
- finds documents containing 'dog' or 'cat'
- dog and cat
- finds documents containing both 'dog' and 'cat'
- dog not cat
- finds documents containing 'dog' but not 'cat'
- walk*
- finds documents containing words starting with 'walk'
