Qudoc doesn't have an advanced search option. We believe in keeping things simple. However, we do support the usual search operators:
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| AND | Finds documents containing both words |
hot dog
Finds documents containing both hot and dog within the one document. The AND operator is implicit and does not need to be included. |
| OR | Finds documents containing either one of the words, or both together |
hot OR dog or hot | dog Finds documents containing hot on its own, dog on its own, or both hot and dog. |
| NOT | Excludes a document from the search |
hot NOT dog or hot -dog Finds documents containing hot, but only where they don't also contain dog. The hyphen (-) can also be used. |
| "phrase" | Allows you to search for an exact phrase (ie as you typed it) if you put the query between quotation marks |
"hot dog"
Only finds documents where the words hot dog appear adjactently in that exact order, but won't find, for example, dog hot, hot red dog or just dog. |
| (brackets) | Allows you to build complex boolean operations |
(warm OR hot) (canine OR dog)
Finds documents containing at least one each of warm or hot and dog or canine, for example hot and canine, or warm and dog. |
