There are a few special things you can do to constuct +more powerful searches. + +* To match a phrase, enclose it in double quotes. +* `AND` can be used to search for documents containing two expressions. +* `OR` can be used to search for documents containing either one of + two expressions. +* Parentheses can be used to build up complicated search expressions. For + example, "(foo AND bar) OR (me AND you)" +* Prefix a search term with "-" to avoid it from appearing in the results. + For example, "-discussion" will omit "discussion". +* To search for a page with a given title, use "title:foo". +* To search for pages that contain a "bar" link, use "link:bar". |
