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'
- web*
- finds documents containing words starting
with 'web'
