Query Syntax Help
The Microsoft Index Server search engine can accept different types of search criteria as a query. The simplest is a single word or group of words. In this case
the result will be pages that contain one or more of those words, ranked by the number of 'hits' for each word. The search is not case-sensitive.
The asterisk character '*' can be used as a wildcard by appending it to the end of a series of characters, for example Data* to find words beginning with 'Data'.
Alternatively, you can use Boolean operators to group words or phrases. In this case, each word or phrase must be contained in double quotes, for example
"wrox" AND "press" AND "books" to find only pages that contain all three words. The possible operators are AND, OR, and NOT.
The symbols &, |, and ! can be used instead of the words if required.
