About Advanced Search
A search mode that allows the use of logical operators for more precise control over search results. This mode is useful when you need to specify which words must be present, which should be excluded, and how to combine different words for accurate results.
Search Operators:
+
(plus) - mandatory word: If you want a specific word to be present in the results, put a plus sign before it.
Example:+apple +pie
- will find all entries that contain both "apple" and "pie". Both words must be in the entry.-
(minus) - exclude word: If you want to exclude a specific word from the search results, use a minus sign before it.
Example:apple -pie
- will find all entries that contain "apple" but not "pie"." "
(quotation marks) - exact phrase: If you need to find an exact phrase rather than individual words, enclose the phrase in quotation marks.
Example:"apple pie"
- will find entries that contain the phrase "apple pie" exactly as it is.*
(asterisk) - word start: To find all words that start with a specific sequence of letters, use an asterisk.
Example:apple*
- will find all words that start with "apple" (e.g., "apple", "apples", "appletree").()
(parentheses) - grouping: Group words and operators to create complex logical expressions.
Example:+(apple pie) -juice
- will find entries that contain "apple" and "pie", but do not contain "juice".|
(vertical bar) - "or": To find entries that contain at least one of several words.
Example:apple | orange
- will find entries that contain either "apple" or "orange".
