Query Syntax
- OR: The default operator. When you include the OR operator (or a space) between two terms, the items that contain either of the two terms are searched. For example, when you input device OR interface, the items that contain either of device and interface are searched.
- AND: When you include the AND operator between two terms, the items that contain both terms are searched. For example, when you input device AND interface, the items that contain both device and interface are searched.
- NOT: When you include the NOT operator between two terms, the items that contain the term before NOT and do not contain the term after NOT are searched. When the NOT operator is used before the only one term input, no results will be searched. For example, when you input device NOT interface, the items that contain device but do not contain interface are searched.
- Plus sign (+): When you input +XX, the items to be searched must contain the term after +. For example, when you input +device, the items that contain device are searched.
- Minus sign (-): When you input -XX, the items to be searched cannot contain the term after -. For example, when you input -device interface, the items that do not contain device and that contain interface are searched.
- Question mark (?): The single-character wildcard indicates any character in the search. For example, when you input devi?e, the items that contain device, devide, and so on are searched.
- Asterisk sign (*): The multiple-character wildcard indicates 0 or more characters. For example, when you input devi*, the items that contain the word devi or any word prefixed with devi are searched. When you input *vice, the items that contain the word vice or any word suffixed with vice are searched; When you input *vic*, the items that contain any word with vic are searched.
