The 'search text' box allows for more complicated search patterns than simply searching for a single word. Typical 'search expressions' may also be used.
You can use double quotes to search for an exact phrase. You can use + immediately before a word or phrase to require that it be present; and use - immediately before a word or phrase to require that it not be present. You may also use AND or OR (all capitalized) between words or phrases.
Examples of allowable search expressions:
red
Returns results containing 'red'.
+red
Returns results containing 'red'.
red brick
Returns results containing both 'red' and 'brick'. The words may appear separately.
red AND brick
Returns results containing both 'red' and 'brick'. The words may appear separately.
red OR brick
Returns results containing either 'red' or 'brick' or both.
red # brick
Returns results containing either 'red' or 'brick' or both.
-red
Returns results whose info does not contain 'red'.
red -brick
Returns results containing 'red' and does not contain 'brick'.
+red -brick
Returns results containing 'red' and does not contain 'brick'.
"red brick"
Returns results containing the phrase 'red brick'.
-"red brick"
Returns results whose info does not contain the phrase 'red brick'. Results containing just 'red' or just 'brick', but not together will be returned.
+"red brick" -"gray brick"
Returns results containing the phrase 'red brick' and does not contain the phrase 'gray brick'.
"red brick" OR "gray brick"
Returns results containing either of the phrases 'red brick' or 'gray brick' or both.
"red brick" AND "gray brick"
Returns results containing both the phrase 'red brick' and the phrase 'gray brick'.
red brick brown blocks
Returns results containing all of these individual words, 'red', 'brick', 'suicide', 'prevention'. The words can appear separately and anywhere in the data.
red -brick +"brown blocks"
Returns results containing the word 'red' and does not contain the word 'brick' and does contain the phrase 'brown blocks'.
There are many other possible permutations of these, but these examples demonstrate the basic idea. The following characters and words cannot be searched for because these are interpreted to be 'search expression' parameters:
+, -, #, ", AND, OR, NOT
