Full Text Search - Help |
|
| Our search engine provides the best of both worlds...a feature-rich full text search, combined with field based searching such as by geography and job type (for classified searches). We have provided several different full text methods, both simple and complex, to best suit the needs of each individual coming to our site. Below are details to help you determine which full-text search method is best for you.
Full Text Search Methods
All of the words: Every word in the search box must be found to return a result.
Any of the words: Any one of the words must be found to return a result.
Exact phrase: Every one of the words must be found exactly as typed in the search box to return a result.
Boolean phrase: Boolean expressions (and, or, not) may be used to combine more than one word or phrase into a single search.
Note: Searches are not case sensitive.
More Details on Boolean Searching
The following are guidelines for boolean searches:
- Search terms can be one or multiple words, assumed to treated as an exact phrase unless separated by operators.
- Valid operators used to combine search results are: and, or, not,
- Parentheses may be used (but are not manditory) to visually group search terms.
- Operators are not allowed at the beginning or the end of a string within parentheses.
- Operators must be between strings which are inside parentheses.
- The only case where two operators are allowed to be adjacent are when "and not" is used.
- Search terms are processed from left to right.
- "Or Not" is not allowed.
Examples of Boolean Searches
- "visual basic" and not "crystal reports"
- (visual basic) and not (Crystal Reports)
- oracle and "sql plus"
- "unix system administrator" and AIX
Note: Rather than using commas, simply place a space between words. With booleans phrases, be sure to separate multiple words with a boolean term as described above. Spaces between words in boolean phrases are interpreted as an exact phrase match.
