What search syntax is supported by search engine?
Below is a table which outlines the search syntax supported by the Server. By default, the server will return only those pages containing every keyword searched. Therefore, searching for:
     environmental justice
will return the same results as searching for:
     +environmental +justice.

SEARCH	EXAMPLE	EXPLANATION
Single Keywords	environmental	Returns each page containing the keyword environmental
Multiple Keywords	environmental justice	Returns each page containing the keywords environmental AND the keyword justice anywhere within the document. Same as if you had typed: +environmental +justice (see Boolean)
Phrase	"environmental justice"	Returns each page containing the exact string in quotes, meaning only those pages where environmental is followed directly by justice
Boolean	+environmental -justice	Returns each page based on the Boolean condition being met. A plus (+) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST exist in the page. A minus (-) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST NOT exist on the page
Wildcard (Partial Keywords)	enviro* *mental *ron*	Returns each page where a keyword exists that either starts with, ends with, or is contained within a particular term. Therefore, the first example would return any page containig keywords starting with enviro, such as environment, or environmentalist. The second example would return any page containing keywords ending in mental such as environmental, or developmental, or compartmental. The third example would return any page containing keywords with ron within itself, such as wrong, or acronym
