Search Help
Keyword
search You may enter a a word such as Celentis to find
all documents containing this word, however, this may return one hundred
found documents.
Using
AND If you wanted the Celentis products, you could try
using AND e.g. Celentis AND products. This query will
search for documents containing both Celentis and products.
Using "" Put
quotation marks around keywords if you want the search engine to
take them literally. For instance, if you type the following query:
"gene sequencing"
The search engine will literally look for the complete phrase gene
sequencing. But if you type the same query without the quotation
marks:
gene sequencing
the search engine searches all documents for the words gene
sequencing.
Using * Look for words with
the same prefix. For example, in your query form type key*
to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard,
and so on.
Using ** Search
for all forms of a word. For example, in the form type sink**
to find sink, sinking, sank, and sunk.
Using NEAR Search
with the keyword NEAR, rather than AND,
for words close to each other. For example, both of these queries,
system and manager and system near manager,
look for the words system and manager on the same
page. But with NEAR, the returned pages are ranked
in order of proximity: The closer together the words are, the higher
the rank of that page.
Using AND NOT Refine
your queries with the AND NOT keywords to exclude
certain text from your search. For example, if you want to find
all instances of products but not Agresearch,
write the following query:
products AND NOT
Agresearch
Using OR
Add the OR keyword to find all instances
of either one word or another, for example:
Celentis OR products
This query finds all pages that mention
Celentis or Products or both.
Use
Free Text Queries if you want to enter queries using natural
language. The search engine will examine your query, extract nouns
and noun phrases and construct a query for you. With free text queries
you can enter any text you want, from a proper question, to a string
of words and phrases, without worrying about the query language.
For example, if you type in the following query:
"Please find Celentis products"
the search engine will create a query for you automatically and
begin the search. Note that when you're using free text queries,
the regular query language features are disabled and keywords such
as AND, OR, and NEAR
are interpreted as normal words.
