Using the Query Operators
Chapter

•
<PHRASE>
Search considers words separated by spaces to be part of a
phrase. For example, Monterey otter is interpreted as a phrase, and both words
must be present and together to be found. Such a search would not find
documents containing sea otter or Monterey Bay.
In any case where it’s not clear that two words are to be considered as a phrase,
you can use parentheses for clarity. For example, <PHRASE> (rise "and" fall)
.
•
OR
Search considers each word or phrase in the query separated by a comma
to be optional, although at least one must be present. In effect, this is an
implicit OR operation. For example, Monterey, otter is interpreted as find
documents that contain either Monterey or otter. Note that angle brackets are
not required for
OR
.
Search Rules
To create complex searches, you can:
•
Combine query operators
•
Manipulate the query syntax
•
Include wildcard characters
Angle Brackets
With the exception of the
AND
,
OR
,
NOT
, and the date and numeric comparison
operators, you need to enclose query operators in angle brackets, as in
<CONTAINS>
and
<WILDCARD>
.
Combining Operators
You can combine several query operators into a single query to obtain precise
results. For example, you can input the following query to limit your search to
those documents that have Bay and Monterey, but excludes those that also mention
Aquarium:
Monterey AND Bay NOT <CONTAINS> Aquarium
You can achieve even greater precision by including some implicit phrases, as in
the following query that finds documents that refer to the Monterey Bay Aquarium
by its full name and also mention otters but do not refer to shark:
Monterey Bay Aquarium AND otter AND NOT shark
