+
+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 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".
