Searching Instructions

We use for our search engine. How it interprets what you enter is described in detail in , but the important things to note are:

• By default, only pages that contain all of your search terms will be returned. (This is a "boolean and" search.)
• By changing the drop down form, you can request instead that either pages that match any or your search terms will be returned, or that your search string should be parsed as a boolean expression.
• A boolean expression may contain search terms, the keywords "AND", "OR" and "NOT", and parentheses.
• Beware that "NOT" is a binary relation: "cat AND NOT dog" is incorrect; "cat NOT dog" is correct.
• The keywords don't actually have to be capitalized, I just did that to make the examples clearer.
