You can search for several words next to each other by enclosing them in quotation marks:
"a key phrase"
This also works for keyword searches.
If you want only results that do not mention a specific term, you can exclude that term by prepending a minus sign:
-unwanted good words -bad -words words we want -"phrase to exclude"
-unwanted
good words -bad -words
words we want -"phrase to exclude"
To search for values before or after a certain date, precede the date with the appropriate operator:
> 2018 (after 2018) <= Feb 20 2021 (on or before 2/20/21)
> 2018
<= Feb 20 2021
It is also possible to specify relative to the current time:
< 90 minutes ago (less than 90 minutes ago) >= ten days ago (10 or more days ago)
< 90 minutes ago
>= ten days ago
Comparisons also work with numeric fields:
>= 42 (greater than or equal to 42) != 65535 (not equal to 65535)
>= 42
!= 65535
For dates, most common formats will work. Comparisons are only for Date, Timestamp, and Number fields.
To match a word or phrase exactly, immediately precede it with an equals sign:
=National Nanotechnology Network =http://www.science.org/journals
=National Nanotechnology Network
=http://www.science.org/journals
This is usually used with URL and Controlled Name fields. Exact match differs from phrase searching in that with an exact match, the content of the field has to be identical to the search string to be considered a match.
You can search for dates within a specific range by entering a beginning and end date separated by spaces and a dash:
June 10 2021 - March 19 2022 5/1/16 - 2/10/20
June 10 2021 - March 19 2022
5/1/16 - 2/10/20
Ranges are inclusive, and most common date formats will work.
To search for when a field was last modified, enter a @ symbol followed by a date:
@
@ Feb 20 2022 (changed on or since 2/20/22) @ five days ago (changed within the past 5 days)
@ Feb 20 2022
@ five days ago
Comparison operators can also be used:
@< January 10 2022 (last changed before 1/10/22)
@< January 10 2022
Dates are inclusive, and most common date formats will work.
