Boolean Searches
The Ideal BB search engine supports the use of boolean terms. This page will explain how to use those search terms and provide examples.
Simple search
Just enter your search criteria as you
normally would. For example:
installation help
This search would find all articles that have both the words
"installation" followed by the word "help" within the selected criteria.
You may also use the * as a wildcard. This would match the prefix or suffix to the *. For example:
install*
This search would located all articles that have the partial
word install at the prefix. It would match installation and installing, but not test-install.
More complex searches
You may use boolean operators to perform
searches. This makes the search engine very powerful. Make sure to
enclose phrases with double quotes.
"my friend" AND "my enemy"
This search would produce results based on articles containing
both strings.
"my friend OR "my enemy"
This search would produce results based on articles containing
one string or the other.
You may also use the NOT operator to exclude terms from the search.
