* Boolean Operators
Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. The search engine supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators(Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS).
OR
The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to a union using sets. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.
To search for documents that contain either "DIGIPASS Pack" or just "DIGIPASS" use the query:
"DIGIPASS Pack" DIGIPASS
or
"DIGIPASS Pack" OR DIGIPASS
AND
The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. This is equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol && can be used in place of the word AND.
To search for documents that contain "DIGIPASS Pack" and "authentication" use the query:
"DIGIPASS Pack" AND "authentication"
+
The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in a the field of a single document.
To search for documents that must contain "DIGIPASS" and may contain "authentication" use the query:
+DIGIPASS authentication
NOT
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT.
To search for documents that contain "DIGIPASS Pack" but not "authentication" use the query:
"DIGIPASS Pack" NOT "authentication"
Note: The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results:
NOT "DIGIPASS Pack"
-
The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol.
To search for documents that contain "DIGIPASS Pack" but not "authentication" use the query:
"DIGIPASS Pack" -"authentication"
