How to Search

The search is done using the SWISH-E indexing system. In the query box you can specify keywords (e.g. "communication", "internet", "discussion"), boolean operators ("and", "or", "not") and parenthesis ("(" and ")"). Keywords separated by spaces are equivalent to keywords separated by "and". For example,

    communication and internet

will find files containing "communication" and "internet". All searches are case-insensitive.

    communication and not internet

will find files which contain "communication" but not "internet".

    communication or discussion and internet

finds files which contain both (1) either "communication" or "discussion", and (2) "internet".

    communication or (discussion and internet)

finds files which contain either (1) "communication", or (2) both "discussion" and "internet".

You can use "*" as an end of word wildcard. The database searches for files containing words that match your wildcard (as opposed to files containing lines which match your wildcards).
