FTS Search Tips

  1. Root word kind of search just like the search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc) reducing the need to use Boolean OR:
  2. All search are prefix root only search so that search key ear will not match bear or hear.
  3. "Phrase search" is better as in between punctuators are now ignored. But note that it is still not an exact search due to word stemming.
  4. Boolean OR is supported (must be capitalized in order to distinguish from search key or).
  5. Proximity/nearness search
  6. Word exclusion, NOT word using -
