About Search Queries

  • A search query consists of one or more search terms, along with zero or more parameters, such as Boolean operators, and wildcards.

  • An automatic AND is assumed between words entered next to each other in a search query. For example, a search for bird cat dog returns the same search results as bird AND cat AND dog.

  • Query terms are not case sensitive, and punctuation marks, such as hyphens, commas, and semicolons, are ignored.

  • Query length of up to 64,000 characters can be accommodated in both Advanced Search and the main keyword search.

  • The search results query text rendered immediately above Search Results shows you how searches have been parsed.
