Advanced search overview ⚙️

👉 Make your search results more precise with the explicit operators AND, OR, NOT!

• All words that must be present are separated by an AND.
  Ex.: to identify all documents that contain both "environment" and "UK":

• If at least one word from a given list must be present, separate the words in that list with an OR.
  Ex.: France OR UK.

• If a word should not be present in the search results, precede it with NOT.
  Ex.: environment NOT COP.

Also to be noted:

• Writing a group of words in quotation marks " will search this exact phrase.

• Adding parentheses allows you to group words to indicate in which order to execute operations.
  Ex.:

  

• By default, the search is conducted in every field of a document. You can restrict the search to one or several fields, such as the title.
  Ex.: title="COP 27". 🔗 Find the list of search operators here.
