Case sensitive
To find pages containing the word Result
(but not RESULT or result), just add an exclamation mark
after the word. Example : Result!
Wildcard search
To find pages containing the word ref
or referee or referees, (i.e. all the words beginning
by ref), add an asterisk after the word. Example : ref*
OR Operator
To find pages containing the word fixture
or the word result, enter the two words separated by an OR
operator. Example : fixture OR result
AND Operator
To find pages containing the word fixture
and the word result, enter both words separated by an AND
operator. Example : fixture AND result
NOT Operator
To find pages containing neither the word
fixture nor the word result, enter NOT then the
two words separated by an AND and a NOT operator. Example
: NOT fixture AND NOT result
Parentheses
As in mathematics, certain operators have
priority over others. The AND operator, that works like a product,
has priority over the OR operator, that works like a sum. The
NOT operator has priority over the AND operator. You can
force priority by using parentheses. The previous example could also
be written : NOT (fixture OR result)
Complex queries
By using these syntax rules, you can also
write more complex queries, to be still more selective in your page
search. Example : (Referee! AND (fixt*
OR result*) OR games) AND NOT team*
