How to search with IntraSeek
This text can be added to a web page to tell the users how to use the IntraSeek search form.

It is possible to use quotation marks (?) and asterisks (*) to broaden searches. A search for "net*" might match "netscape", "nethack", "network" and so on. A search for "int??net" matches "intranet" as well as "internet". Note that IntraSeek requires that the user specifies at least three characters in front of the "*" notation, and that there is no difference between lower- and uppercase searches.

You can use quotation marks to search for a phrase. For example, a search for "John Carl Smith" will search for persons with this name. Without quotes, you would have get any pages that use any of those common names.

Boolean
Boolean search allows you to include or exclude documents containing certain words through the use of the operators AND, OR, NOT and XOR.

If you just type some keywords, the "OR" operator is assumed. For example, searching for "coca-cola pepsi jolt" will accept all documents containing one or more of any of these three words.

Searching for "coca-cola AND pepsi" only displays the documents that contain BOTH coca-cola and pepsi.

Searching for "(coca-cola AND pepsi) AND NOT jolt" will display all documents that contain the words "coca-cola" and "pepsi", but will leave out documents containing anything about "jolt".

You can add any level of "(" and ")" to build evaluation trees.

Searching for "(coca-cola XOR pepsi)" will display all documents that contain the word "coca-cola" or the word "pepsi", but not both.
