I. Search- and Order details
Additional Querys
Queries necessary to retrieve the search terms, their variants and phonetic equivalents have been executed in the preparation of this report.
Where appropriate, the following wildcards and operators have been used:
Operator Description
AND Returns documents that contain one term and another. Returns the minimum score of its operands. All query terms
must occur; lower score taken.
OR Returns documents that contain one term or another. Returns the maximum score of its operands. At least one term
must exist; higher score taken.
ACCUMULATE Returns documents that contain one term or another. Calculates score by adding its operands. Similar to OR, but if
terms co-exist, score is combined.
EQUIVALENCE Used to specify acceptable substitutions of words in a search.
MINUS Returns the score of the right query term subtracted from the score of the left query term.
NOT Returns documents that contain one term and not another.
STEMING Expands a query to include all terms having the same stem or root word as the specified term.
SOUNDEX Expands a query to include all terms that sound the same as the specified term.
FUZZY Expands a query to include all terms with similar spellings as the specified term.
Wildcard Characters
Wildcard characters can be used in query expressions to expand word searches into pattern searches. The wildcard characters are:
Star (*) - The star wildcard specifies that any characters may appear in multiple positions represented by the wildcard.
Questionmark (?) - The questionmark wildcard specifies a single position in which any character may occur.
Grouping Characters
The grouping characters control operator precedence by grouping query terms and operators in a query expression. The grouping characters
are:
parentheses ( )
brackets [ ]
braces { }
The beginning of a group of terms and operators is indicated by an open character from one of the sets of grouping characters. The ending of
a group is indicated by the occurrence of the appropriate close character for the open character that started the group. Between the two
characters, other groups may occur.
For example, the open parenthesis indicates the beginning of a group. The first close parenthesis encountered is the end of the group. Any
open parentheses encountered before the close parenthesis indicate nested groups.
Brackets perform the same function as the parentheses, but prevent penetration for the expansion operators.
Braces perform the same function as the parentheses, but also act as escape characters for including reserved words and special characters
in query expressions.
Query type
The grouping characters control operator precedence by grouping query terms and operators in a query expression. The grouping characters
are:
Query - All Wildcard and Grouping Characters are allowed.
Locate - The Locate query type returns all hits in case the query is part of the name. Only * and ? are allowed.
