Search syntax:

Operator: term1 term2
Action: Search for all chapters or annotation and references containing either term1 or term2 or both.
E.g.: albert einstein

Operator: "term1 term2"
Action: Search for entries that contain those terms which appear adjacent to each other.
E.g.: "albert einstein"

Operator: +term
Action: Search for this required term. +term1 +term2 means both terms must appear anywhere within a searched document.
E.g.: +albert +einstein

Operator: -term
Action: Exclude chapters or annotation and references that contain this term.
E.g.: "albert einstein" -relativity will return all chapters or annotation and references that contain only "albert einstein". The excluded results may contain "albert einstein", but this search syntax requires all annotations containing relativity to be excluded.

Operator: title:term
Action: Search chapters or annotation and references with the term in the annotation/chapter titles.
E.g.: title:einstein returns chapters or annotation and references containing einstein in the annotation/chapter titles.

Operator: query1 | query2
Action: Searches the results of query1 with query2, ranking results by relevance to both query1 and query2.
E.g.: "albert einstein" | relativity. The search engine will first look for documents containing "albert einstein". Then it will search within these results documents containing relativity. The final results returned will be ranked by relevance to both "albert einstein" and relativity. This syntax is equivalent to +"albert einstein" +relativity

Operator: query1 || query2
Action: Searches the results of query1 with query2, ranking results only by relevance to query2.
E.g.: relativity || einstein. The search engine will first look for documents containing relativity. Then it will search within these results documents containing einstein. The final results returned will be ranked by the statistical weight of the term einstein.
