Search Page Help

• Use double quotes around phrases to search.
• Add + in front of terms/phrases that must appear in results.
• Add - in front of terms/phrases that must not appear in results.
• The + checkbox adds a plus in front of all terms/phrases for convenience.
• The score is the percentage of matching characters in a document.
• Special characters like #!$%|&..etc. are allowed.
• Stop-terms are common terms like "it and the that...".

• Searching can be expanded with a wildcard (*).

   

  Adding a * to the end of a term will match all endings. For example: 'test*' will match 'tests' 'tested' 'testing' etc. Stop-terms are included in wildcard searches.

• Weights can be applied by adding <2-10000> in front of terms or phrases.

  For example:   The query above will weight scores 100 and 500 times greater for documents containing 'term' and 'a phrase', respectively. The scores for documents containing only 'none' will remain unchanged. The weight must be in the range of 2-10000. Add + (inclusion) in front of weights. The results will be sorted by weighted scores.

• The following options can be placed in any order in front of the query:
  c: for a case sensitive search.
  w: to match whole words only.
  st: to include stop-terms.
  all: to add + in front of all terms/phrases.
  match: score: date: size: title: or name: for the sorting choice.
  5-100: for the number of results to display per page.

  For example:   The query above will perform a case sensitive search for 'term' and 'a phrase'. 15 results will be displayed per page and the results will be sorted by file size.
