Advanced Search Syntax

There are 4 types of query syntax available:

Required and Prohibited Search Words

Attaching one of the following operators will either require or prohibit words from appearing in the search

results.

+ :

Attaching a + to a word requires that the word be found in all of the search results.

Compare: lincencee versus licencee +permits

- :

Attaching a - in front of a word requires that the word not be found in any of the search

results. Compare: act versus act -regulations

Document Section Restrictions

Attaching one the following operators to the front of a search word will restrict the search

to a certain document sections.

t: - will restrict searches to document titles only. Compare: functions versus t:functions

u: - will restrict searches to document URLs only. Compare: draw results versus u:draw results

Phrase Matching (" ")

Putting quotes around a set of words will only find results that match the words in that

exact sequence. Compare: short title versus "short title"

Wildcard Matching (*)

Attaching a * to the right-hand side of a word will return left side partial matches.

Compare: act versus act*

Combining the Syntax

You may combine any of the query syntax as long as the syntax is combined in the proper

order. The proper order for using the syntax is the same order that the operators are listed

on this page. That is, +, -, t:, u:, "" and lastly *.

Compare: (correct) +t:act -regulations versus (incorrect) t:+act -regulations
