<p align=left>At its simplest, a query can be just a word or a phrase. But with the tips on this page, you can expand the focus of your query
|
||
|
|
to give you more complete results. These tips will get you started with basic query language and acquaint you with the full
|
||
|
|
power of Microsoft Index Server. </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><p align=left>Look for words with the same prefix. For example, in your query form type <strong>key*</strong> to find <em>key</em>, <em>keying</em>, <em>keyhole</em>,
|
||
|
|
<em>keyboard</em>, and so on. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p align=left>Search for all forms of a word. For example, in the form type <strong>sink**</strong> to find <em>sink</em>, <em>sinking</em>, <em>sank</em>, and <em>sunk</em>. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p align=left>Search with the keyword <strong>NEAR, </strong>rather than <strong>AND</strong>, for words close to each other. For example, both of these queries,
|
||
|
|
<strong>system and manager</strong> and <strong>system near manager</strong>, look for the words <em>system</em> and <em>manager</em> on the same page. But
|
||
|
|
with <strong>NEAR</strong>, the returned pages are ranked in order of proximity: The closer together the words are, the higher the rank
|
||
|
|
of that page. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p align=left>Refine your queries with the <strong>AND NOT</strong> keywords to exclude certain text from your search. For example, if you want
|
||
|
|
to find all instances of <em>surfing</em> but not <em>surfing the Net</em>, write the following query: </p>
|
||
|
|
<p align=left><code>surfing AND NOT the Net</code> </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add the <strong>OR</strong> keyword to find all instances of either one word or another, for example:<p><tt>Abbott OR Costello</tt> </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This query finds all pages that mention Abbott or Costello or both. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><p align=left>Put quotation marks around keywords if you want Index Server to take them literally. For instance, if you type the
|
||
|
|
following query:<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<code>"system near manager"<br>
|
||
|
|
</code><br>
|
||
|
|
Index Server will literally look for the complete phrase <em>system near manager</em>. But if you type the same query without
|
||
|
|
the quotation marks:<em><br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</em><code>system near manager<br>
|
||
|
|
</code><em><br>
|
||
|
|
</em>Index Server searches all documents for the words <em>system</em> and <em>manager</em>. </p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p align=left>These hints will get you started, but for more complex queries and more examples, see the <a href="qrylang.htm">Query Language</a> page.</p>
