If searching is enabled, you can enter search terms in the search field,
as you'd expect. There are a few special things you can do to construct
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".
