phrase search
This search engine supports three types of phrase searches
To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase Example: "what is mesecam"
To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words] Example: [what is mesecam]
To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words } Example: {what is mesecam}
+ and - qualifiersIf you pre-pend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
If you pre-pend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page. Example: +always -neverWildcard & Boolean searches
* wildcard: 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*
? wildcard: If a query word contains a ? then any character will match that position. Example: b?g
Boolean search: 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)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
