Advanced Search Text

At the top of the Entry Tree Panel you can specify a word or phrase to filter entries by. The text can contain special characters that allows you to do more advanced searching and logical operators that allow you to do searches for multiple conditions.

General rules

All searches text (words and phrases) should be lowercase and special operators must be uppercase.

- word1 AND word2

- word1 OR word2

- word1 NEAR word2

- word1 NOT word2

Basic Match

word1

- Lists all entries that contain word1

word1 word2 word3

- Lists all entries that contain word1 and word2 and word3

word*

- Lists all entries that contain a word beginning with word, such as word1, word2, wordless, wordy, etc.

Phrases Match

Phrases must be enclosed in double quotes and may contain *

"healthy food"

- Lists all entries that contain the phrase healthy food

"healt* food"

- Lists all entries that contain the phrases health food, healthy food, etc.

The search text healthy food (without double quotes) will list all entries that contain both the words healthy and food anywhere in the entry text. For example, an entry containing the text I like to eat food but want too be healthy will match because it contains both words.

The search text "healthy food" (with the double quotes) will list entries that contain only the complete phrase healthy food. The example above will not match in this case.

NEAR Match

Matches two or more words that are close to each other (default 10 or less words apart)

good NEAR day

- Lists all entries that contain good followed by 10 or less words then day - good day, good cold day, good to be home on this day

good NEAR/2 day

- Lists all entries that contain good followed by 2 or less words then day - good day, good cold day

Combining searches using AND OR NOT ( )

You can use AND, OR and NOT operators to combine search terms and phrases. ( and ) are used to group.

Example:

(good OR bad) AND day

- Lists all entries that contain the term good day or bad day
