Search tips

Empty filters
Search using extended syntax

The quick search engine allows you to use boolean operators to refine your search. By default, the search applies to all keywords. Searches are not case sensitive.

Here is a list of actions you can perform:

With keywords

Exact search

"george washington"

Use quotes to search for an exact keyword or phrase.

OR inclusive

john OR bill

Add an OR between words.

Exclude

george washington NOT bush

-george

Add a dash (-) or NOT before a word to exclude from search. Note that NOT acts as a filtering operator so you cannot have a search containing only NOT operators. You cannot combine OR with NOT (john OR NOT bill is not valid)

Grouping ()

(mother OR father) AND (daugther OR son)

Others

Supported numeric operators

=100 equals 100

>100 greater than 100

<100 less than 100

10..100 between 10 and 100 (inclusive)

..100 up to 100 (inclusive)

100.. from 100 and above

These operators can be used with numeric fields such as created:, posted:, width:, height:, size:, ratio:, hits:, score:, filesize:, id:.
