A simple query can be just a word or a complex phrase. Here are a few examples: |
To look for a exact match: |
Type key to find documents that have the word "key" in the content or the name of the document. |
To look for words with the same prefix: |
Type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on. |
To look for all forms of a word: |
Type sink** to find sink, sinking, sank, and sunk. |
Add the OR keyword to find all instances of either one word or another: |
Abbott OR Costello to find all documents that contain the word Abbott or the word Costello or both. |
Add the AND keyword to find all instances of all words specified: |
Abbott AND Costello to find all documents that contain the word Abbott AND the word Costello. |
Search with the keyword NEAR |
system near manager to find all documents that contain the word system close to the word manager. |
Refine your queries with the AND NOT keywords |
If you want to find all instances of surfing but not the Net, write the following query: surfing AND NOT the Net |
Put quotation marks around multiple keywords |
For instance, if you type the following query: "system manager", infoRouter will find all documents with the complete phrase "system manager". However if you type the same query without the quotation marks: system manager, inforRouter will find all documents with the words system and manager. |
