String searches have number of options. Wildcard characters, e.g. * or ?, are not allowed.

gn4_stringsearches

Option

Matches the records which in the chosen field contains

None

means do not search in this field

Advanced

(description to come)

<>

anything but the specified term

<, <=, >, >=

(description to come)

= or Equal

the term(s) exactly as specified (phrase search)

e.g. peace will find the content with "Peace" and "peace" but it will skip content such as "Peace on Earth", "How to reach peace", "rapeace".

Containing

the term on any position, with partial search

e.g. peace will find the content with "Peace" and "peace" and also "Peace on Earth", "How to reach peace", "rapeace" and "peace01".

Starting

the term at the beginning

e.g. peace will find the content with "Peace" and "peace" and also "Peace on Earth", but not "How to reach peace", "rapeace".

e.g. "Peace on" will skip the content with "Peace" and "peace" but will find "Peace on Earth".

Ending

the term at the end

e.g. peace will find the content with "Peace" and "peace" and also "How to reach peace", "rapeace", but not "Peace on Earth".

All

all the terms at any position

e.g. peace future it will identify the story with name "Future of peace" and "Peace in the future", but it will skip stories such as "Past of peace" and "Future marriage". It behaves as AND operator.

Some

any of the terms at any position

e.g. peace future it will identify the story with name "Future of peace" and "Peace in the future", but also "Past of peace" and "Future marriage". It behaves as OR operator.

Note

Do not use double quotes for the phrase search e.g. "term". Use term with the = operator.
