Boolean Text Search

You can use the following elements:

And [+]

[a and b]

When entering strings separated by “and” (or a plus sign), all files are found that contain both a and b.

[And] is the default setting when no boolean operator is used, for example, you can also enter [a b].

Or [,]

[a or b]

When entering strings separated by “or” (or a comma), files are found that contain either a or b, or both.

Not [-]

[not b]

When entering text preceded by “not” (or a minus sign), all files not containing b are found.

Parentheses [()]

[(a or b) + c]

Using parentheses, you can group text strings. In this example, files are found that contain c and either a or b.

Quotation marks [“”]

[“your search text”]

With quotation marks, you can define sequences of several words. Files are found if they contain the sequence of words that you entered.
