Help with searching

Basic

The search string that you enter is a "logical OR" search. This means that each word will be searched for, and if one or more words are found, it will return success.

For example, if you enter hotmail yahoo, the search engine will return any results that contain hotmail OR yahoo.

Advanced

Use quotes around the entire search string to search for the exact string.
The search engine uses 'AND' or '&&' to match ALL search tokens. Do NOT use quotes.
The search engine uses 'OR' or '||' to match ANY search tokens. Do NOT use quotes.

Notes

Do not use both '&&' and '||' in the same search string (ie. "string1 && string2 || string3" will not have the expected results)
If you use quotes to search for an exact string, do NOT use boolean operators (&&, ||)
If you use quotes to search for an exact string, it must be the only string in the search

Examples

Search String	Result
hotmail	Returns items that contain "hotmail"
"hotmail account"	Returns items that contain "hotmail account"
hotmail yahoo account	Returns items that contain "hotmail" OR "yahoo" OR "account". Same as searching for "hotmail \|\| yahoo \|\| account".
hotmail && yahoo	Returns items that contain BOTH the strings "hotmail" AND "yahoo"
hotmail account && yahoo account	Returns items that contain BOTH the strings "hotmail account" and "yahoo account"
hotmail \|\| yahoo	Returns items that contain EITHER the strings "hotmail" OR "yahoo"
hotmail account \|\| yahoo account	Returns items that contain EITHER the strings "hotmail account" OR "yahoo account". Note that this is NOT the same as searching for "hotmail yahoo account"
account \|\| hotmail && yahoo	Results will be unexpected. Don't mix \|\| and &&. The AND search always has precendence, and your search will equate to the following: "account \|\| hotmail" AND "yahoo"
yahoo "hotmail account"	Results will be unexpected. Don't use quotes except around the entire string.
yahoo && "hotmail account"	Results will be unexpected. Don't use quotes except around the entire string.
