Advanced Capabilities

Our search engine also includes some advanced capabilities to help you find exactly what you're looking for. These capabilities are best shown with a few examples:

Translated: require Discount, require Collectibles

Finds "Collectibles Discount", "Discounted Collectibles", and "discounts for collectibles".

Translated: DO NOT search for discount, only search for collectibles

Translated: prefer discount, require collectibles

Translated: require the phrase "discount collectibles" in the search finds.

Translated: require discount (case insensitive), require words starting with "collectibles"

The asterisk is a wildcard representing any four or fewer characters. This was a new addition to the ServerWise Advanced Spidering Search Engine at the request of our very first members!

Translated: require Venus (case sensitive), require pictures, forbid planet, prefer images

First lists "pictures and images of Venus", then "Venus pictures".
Does not list lowercase "venus picture", nor forbidden "picture of planet Venus".

Translated: ignores common words like where, is, and the - requires words containing "sun"

Finds "sun", "sunchips", and "sun power" or anything else with "sun" contained.
To suppress the ignore feature, use quotes, as in "Where is the *sun*?".

Note on case sensitivity - only words or phrases containing an upper case character will be treated as case sensitive.

A search on "usa" will match "Usa", "USA", and "usA", while the term "USA" matches only its uppercase version.
