+ + Special Characters: + +There are a number of special characters that can prefix search terms. You can string several special + characters together to create more advanced terms. The actual search string starts after the first + invalid special character or opening quote. These special characters are:
+ +-
+
- The ampersand (&) specifies that the search string should be combined with a logical + "and". (Note, this is the default implicit behavior - you probably wont even need to type an + ampersand). +
- The vertical bar (|) specifies that the search string should be combined with a logical + "or". +
- The hyphon (-) and apostrophe (!) specify that the search string should be negated. + +
- The backward slash (\) or forward slash (/) specify that the whole file or project + path should be searched, not just the file or project name. +
- The colon (:) specifies that the project or project path should be searched and not the + file name or file path. +
- The double quote (") can be used to surround the above special characters (or spaces) to + effectively "escape" them. +
- The asterisk (*) can be used as a multi character wildcard. +
- The question mark (?) can be used as a single character wildcard. +
