Global Search tips

You can use symbols and operators to refine your search query.

Symbols

Symbol

How to use it
?

Add a question mark as a placeholder for a single character.

Example: The query BU? returns items such as BUG, BUS, BUY etc.
*

Add an asterisk as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms.

Example: The query AL* returns items such as ALM, Alert, All, etc.
" "

Add quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.

Example: The query "flight reservation" returns items that contain the exact phrase.

Search Operators

Operator

How to use it
NOT / - / !

The term following the NOT / - / ! operator will be excluded from the results.

Example:

flight reservation NOT bug

(The NOT operator must be in capital letters.)

or

flight reservation -bug

or

flight reservation !bug

The query returns items that contain flight or reservation but excludes items that contain the word bug.

OR / space char / ||

Use the OR operator between two words to search for content that contains either word.

Example:

flight OR reservation

(The OR operator must be in capital letters.)

or

flight reservation

or

flight || reservation
AND / &&

Use AND to search for results that include all terms. Note that the AND operator must be in capital letters.

Example:

qc AND alm

(The AND operator must be in capital letters.)

or

qc && alm

The query returns all items that contain both the word qc and the word alm.

Grouping

Use parentheses to group search terms in clauses. This can be very useful if you want to control the Boolean logic for a query.

Example:

(mercury OR tours) AND reservation

or

(mercury tours) && reservation

The query returns items that contain mercury or tours, and include reservation.
<

To search for values less than the value specified. Used only with numeric values.

Example: X<1

>

To search for values greater than the value specified. Used only with numeric values.

Example: X>1

Escaping Special Characters

Global Search supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax. The special characters are + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \

To escape a character use a backslash “\” before the character.

Example: To search for (1+1):2, type \(1\+1\)\:2
