Tonik - Search Help
A simple search for one or more words will return pages which contain all or any of the words you are searching for.
For advanced searches see the information below:
| + |
A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every
row returned. |
| - |
A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in
any row returned. |
| > < |
These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance
value that is assigned to a result. The > operator increases the contribution
and the < operator decreases it. See the example below. |
| ( ) |
Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions. Parenthesized
groups can be nested. |
| ~ |
A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution
to the row relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words.
A row that contains such a word is rated lower than others, but is not excluded
altogether, as it would be with the - operator. |
| " |
A phrase that is enclosed within double quote ('"') characters matches
only rows that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed. |
