Page headings and content can be searched using MySQL's boolean full-text search capability. Best match is displayed first in the list of results.
The following operators are supported: |
| + | A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every row returned, for example: +ThisWord |
| - | A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned, for example: -ThisWord |
| By default (when neither plus nor minus is specified) the word is optional, but the rows that contain it will be rated higher. |
| < > | These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row. The < operator decreases the contribution and the > operator increases it. For example: <ThisWord -or- >ThisWord |
| ( ) | Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions. |
| ~ | A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the row relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. A row that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator. |
| * | An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word. For example: ThisWord* |
| "..." | Phrases enclosed in double quotes matches only rows that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed. For example: "database search" |
