An entry of multiple words separated by spaces finds stories containing one or more of the words:
|
|
|
quake Mexico finds stories containing either “quake” or “Mexico” or both.
|
|
|
A plus sign immediately before a word ensures that the word will be in the stories found:
|
|
|
+quake +Mexico finds stories that contain both “quake” and “Mexico.”
|
|
|
Double quotation marks around words define the entry as a phrase:
|
|
|
“nba playoffs” finds stories that contain “nba” and “playoffs” next to each another.
|
|
|
Capitalized words are treated as names:
|
|
|
Bill finds stories that contain the name “Bill” but not “bill collector.”
|
|
|
Commas divide capitalized words into separate names and titles:
|
|
|
Hillary, Whitewater finds all stories that contain “Hillary” or “Whitewater” or both.
|
|
|
A pipe between words finds all stories containing the first word — and then further narrows the search by finding the next word within that set of stories:
|
|
|
quake | Mexico finds stories that contain “quake” and then looks through those stories for ones that also contain “Mexico.”
