Use the Full text search field to do a freetext search in all fields. Use an asterisk (*) if you wish to search for part of a word. You can choose a term from the list in the field with three dots to the right. You can search the list by writing the first letters of a word straight into the field.
Advanced searches can be done by using search operators combined with search terms and phrases. The operators allow the definition of logical relationships between the search terms. The following operators can be used:
Operator | Explanation | Example |
---|---|---|
+ |
"+" means that the word after the plus sign must be found in an entry for it to be included in the search results. NB: |
+chair +concrete Both "chair" and "concrete" must be in the entry |
- |
"-" means that the word after the minus sign may not be found in an entry that is included in the search results. NB: |
chair -concrete "chair" must be in the entry, but not "concrete" |
AND, && |
"AND" links two search words and only produces entries with both those words. NB: |
Chair AND concrete Both "chair" and "concrete" must be in the entry |
OR, || |
"OR" links two search terms and
produces entries with either of the terms. |
chair OR concrete "chair" or "concrete" must be in the entry. |
NOT, ! |
"NOT" excludes all entries
that include the word after "NOT". NB: |
Chair NOT concrete "chair" must be in the entry, but not "concrete" |
