Search syntax

Input has several places where you can specify a search query. These queries use the following syntax:

  • + signifies AND operation
  • | signifies OR operation
  • - negates a single token
  • " wraps a number of tokens to signify a phrase for searching
  • * at the end of a term signifies a prefix query
  • ( and ) signify precedence

Examples:

  • crash - searches for responses with the word "crash"
  • crash + -sync - searches for responses with the word "crash" excluding results with the word "sync"
  • crash + sync - searches for responses with both "crash" and "sync"
  • "norton antivirus" crash - searches for responses with the phrase "norton antivirus" and the word "crash"
