Search Tips

• The search is a full-text search that will return matches found inside documents as well
• The search is not case sensitive
• To search for all forms of a word, include a '+' after the word, for example the search 'fly+' will return matches for 'fly', 'flying', 'flier' etc.
• To search for a specific phrase, include double quotes around the phrase, for example the search ' "at home" ' will return matches where the two words appear seperated by a space
• To search for 2 words that are in close proximity, use the 'near' keyword, for example 'at near home' or 'at ~ home' for shorthand
• The keywords '~','near', 'and', 'and not' and 'or' are reserved, meaning that searching for them will cause an error. The can however be used to build a search expression such as '(at AND home) or castle and not hut'. Expressions of this type must be well-formed, meaning that any of these keywords must have a valid search term to the left and right of the keyword
• Searching only on ignored words will also generate an error. Ignored words are basic words such as 'a' or 'I' or 'in'
• The search engine searches a catalog which is update at regular interval. This means that altough it is updated regularly, it is not updated in real time. This can lead to a situation where a search term is "found" on a page/document but when you link to the page/document, you cannot find your search term. It might also happen that a phrase appears on a page, but when you search for it, it doesn't appear in the search results. Please be patient and try again later
