| The index server search
engine will search the contents of Master Index files,
then display a weighted list of matches, sorted by filename,
then rank. The higher the Rank, the 'better' the match
Each list item, the document's
file name, is a link to a matching document.
The Search Result may not
return an exact match when none can be found.
In that instance, an 'almost match' may be returned.
A brief general explanation
of the query language, along with examples:
Query
Language
The text search engine allows queries to be formed from arbitrary Boolean
expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, and grouped with
parentheses. For example:
- information
retrieval
- finds documents
containing 'information' or 'retrieval'
-
- information
or retrieval
- same as above
- information
and retrieval
- finds documents
containing both 'information' and 'retrieval'
- information
not retrieval
- finds documents
containing 'information' but not 'retrieval'
- (information
not retrieval) and WAIS
- finds documents
containing 'WAIS', plus 'information' but not 'retrieval'
-
2BZA*
- finds documents
containing UPILV starting with '2BZA'
- Note:
A search will not locate approx 300 of the most common English words,
such as "a", "the", and so on.
