By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have exact matches for
all of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it
then tries to locate pages which contain any words in your search
query. If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of the
search results indicating this has been done.
In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
The search engine supports three types of phrase search.
Example: "free search engine"
Example: [free search engine]
Example: {free search engine}
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
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that
query word will match.
Example: gift*
If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
Example: b?g
You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
