How to search with IntraSeek
This text can be added to a web page to tell the users how to use the
IntraSeek search form.
It is possible to use quotation marks (?) and asterisks (*) to
broaden searches. A search for "net*" might match "netscape",
"nethack", "network" and so on. A search for "int??net" matches
"intranet" as well as "internet". Note that IntraSeek requires that
the user specifies at least three characters in front of the "*"
notation, and that there is no difference between lower- and uppercase
searches.
You can use quotation marks to search for a phrase. For example, a
search for "John Carl Smith" will search for persons with this name.
Without quotes, you would have get any pages that use any of those
common names.
Boolean
Boolean search allows you to include or exclude documents containing
certain words through the use of the operators AND, OR, NOT and XOR.
If you just type some keywords, the "OR" operator is assumed. For
example, searching for "coca-cola pepsi jolt" will accept all
documents containing one or more of any of these three words.
Searching for "coca-cola AND pepsi" only displays the documents
that contain BOTH coca-cola and pepsi.
Searching for "(coca-cola AND pepsi) AND NOT jolt" will display all
documents that contain the words "coca-cola" and "pepsi", but will
leave out documents containing anything about "jolt".
You can add any level of "(" and ")" to build evaluation trees.
Searching for "(coca-cola XOR pepsi)" will display all documents
that contain the word "coca-cola" or the word "pepsi", but not both.
