AND
+ (plus)
|
Using the word AND between your query words requires that both/all the words be present in a document. Instead of AND, you can also use a plus sign (+). For example:
Bhaktivinode AND Thakur AND books
Bhaktivinode +Thakur +books
When using + be sure to eliminate spaces between the symbol and the word following it.
|
NOT
- (minus)
|
Using the word NOT between your query words defines what you do NOT want the search to return. Instead of NOT, you can also use a minus sign (-). For example:
Bhaktivinode AND Thakur NOT books
Bhaktivinode AND Thakur -books
When using - be sure to eliminate spaces between the symbol and the word following it.
|
|
OR
|
Using the word OR between your query words means that the word or phrase can be present (and thus gets a higher relevancy ranking), but it is not required for a document to show up on the results page. For example:
Bhaktivinode OR Bhaktivinoda
Bhaktivinode OR Bhaktivinoda AND Thakur
|
|
PHRASE
|
Searching for phrases means that the words between the quotes must show up in that exact order, adjacent to one another. For example:
"In 1895 Bhaktivinode Thakur published"

WILDCARD ( * )
|
Searching with Wildcards allows you to search for a partial match of a word. The conditions are that a wildcard can only appear at the end of a search term, and at least two characters must be provided before the wildcard * (asterisk) argument. In the example below, all matching documents that contain words that begin with the characters Go and contain the word Krsna will show up on the search results page:
Go* +Krsna
Examples of words that satisfy the Go* wildcard search term are: Gopal, Govardhan, and Govinda.
When using Wildcards, be sure to eliminate spaces between the symbol and the word.
