Search tips
Examples and guidelines
The following examples illustrate the different types of
search requests you can specify:
- animal
- Search for the existence of the single word animal in any topic.
my animal farm
- Search for the existence of the phrase my animal farm in any topic.
my animal farm, dog- Search for the existence of the phrase my animal farm OR the
word dog in any same topic, using a comma to separate one or
more words or phrases from each other.
*dog*- Search for words that contain the letters dog using the asterisk
(*) — the multiple-character wildcard — to substitute for one or
more characters anywhere in a word. In this example, *dog* would
find matches such as doghouse, dogcatcher,
dogma or Reddog if any one of them existed in any topic.
c?t
- Search for three-letter words that begin with the letter c AND
end with the letter t using the question mark (?) — the
single-character wildcard — to substitute for a single character
anywhere in a word. In this example, c?t would cause search to
find matches on such words as cat, cot, or
cut if any one of them existed in any topic.
lion & tigers- Search for the existence of both the word lion AND the word
tigers in any same topic.
cat | dog- Search for the existence of either the word cat OR the word dog
in any same topic.
opossum ! sleep- Search for the existence of only the word opossum BUT NOT the
word sleep in any same topic.
(cat | dog) ! tigers- Search for the existence of either the word cat OR dog,
BUT NOT
tigers in any same topic using parentheses — grouping
operators — to group together words or phrases to change the
order of precedence of the search. In this example, a match will
occur if either cat exists without tigers or
if dog exists without tigers, in any same topic.
cat '&' mouse | kitten's fur- Search for the phrase cat & mouse OR the phrase kitten's fur
using single quotes — the AS IS operator — to prevent special
characters from being treated as search operators. In this
example, the ampersand (&) and the apostrophe (') are treated as
regular characters.
Exception: When a single-quote (or apostrophe) character is part
of a search request, as in kitten's fur, it is only necessary to
add one single quote to treat it as an apostrophe.
