The query specifies only one term for retrieving all
documents which contain the term. e.g.,
v12
The query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all
documents which contain both terms. You can insert the
and operator between the terms. e.g.,
v12 and Authorware
You can omit the and operator. Terms which is
separated by one ore more spaces is assumed to be AND query.
The query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all
documents which contain either term. You can insert the
or operator between the terms.
e.g.,
V12 or PDF-Xtra
The query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all
documents which contain a first term but doesn't contain the
following terms. You can insert the not
operator between the terms to do NOT query. e.g.,
GoldenGate not V12
You can group queries by surrounding them by
parentheses. The parentheses should be separated by one or
more spaces. e.g.,
( V12 or GoldenGate) and Director not Windows
You can search for a phrase which consists of two or more terms
by surrounding them with double quotes like
"..." or with braces like {...}.
The precision of phrase searching is not 100 %,
so it causes wrong results occasionally. e.g.,
{Macromedia Director}
The are three types of substring matching searching.
- Prefix matching
inter* (terms which begin with inter)
- Inside matching
*text* (terms which contain text)
- Suffix matching
*net (terms which terminate
with net)
You can use regular expressions for pattern matching. The
regular expressions must be surrounded by slashes like /.../. The search engine uses Ruby's regular
regular expressions engine. It offers generally Perl compatible flavor.
e.g.,
/pro(gram|blem)s?/
You can limit your search to specific fields such as
Subject:, From:,
Message-Id:. It's especially convenient for
Mail/News documents. e.g.,
+subject:V12
(Retrieving all documents which contain V12
in a Subject: field)
+subject:"Macromedia Director"
(Retrieving all documents which contain Macromedia Director
in a Subject: field)
+from:support@integrationnewmedia.com
(Retrieving all documents which contain support@integrationnewmedia.com
in a From: field)
+message-id:<199801240555.OAA18737@support.integrationnewmedia.com>
(Retrieving a certain document which contains specified
Message-Id:)
- In any queries, the search engine ignores case distinctions of
alphabet characters. In other words, the search engine does
case-insensitive pattern matching in any time.
- Namazu can handle a term which contains symbols like
TCP/IP. Since this handling isn't complete,
you can describe TCP and IP instead of
TCP/IP, but it may cause noisy results.
- Substring matching and field-specified searching takes
more time than other methods.
- If you want to use
and,
or or not simply as terms, you can
surround them respectively with double quotes like "..." or braces like {...}.
