Search string syntax

There are many ways to search for a service.

Types of searches

To perform a standard search, simply type the search terms. Example: Lotus Notes
To perform a search for an exact phrase, enclose the search terms in quotes. Example: "Lotus Notes"
To perform a single character wildcard search, use "?" symbol. Example: Lo?us Notes
Note: You can not use the "?" character at the beginning of a search term.
To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol. Examples: Lo*us and Lotus*
Note: You can not use the "*" character at the beginning of a search term.
To perform a fuzzy search, use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a single term. A fuzzy search finds terms that are similar to the term you entered. Example: Lotus~
To perform a search for documents within a specific range, use the "()" symbols. Example: name:(Lotus to Notes)
To perform a search for documents that contain one or all of multiple terms, use the OR operator. Example: Lotus OR Notes
To perform a search for documents that contain all terms, use the AND operator. Example: "Lotus" AND "Notes". The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document.
To perform a search for documents that contain one or more search terms but not another, use the NOT operator. Example: "Lotus Notes" NOT "Password".
To perform a search for terms that contain either of two terms and another term, use the OR and AND operators. Example: "Lotus" OR "Notes" AND "Password"
