28		-== Wildcard Searches ==
	19	+1.1 Wildcard Searches
29	29
30	30	Lucene supports single and multiple character wildcard searches within single terms (not within phrase queries).
31	31
32	32	* To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol.
33		-* To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol.
	24	+* To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol.
34	34
35	35	The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. For example, to search for "text" or "test" you can use the search:
36	36
37		-{{code}}
	28	+{code}
38	38	te?t
39		-{{/code}}
	30	+{code}
40	40
41	41	Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. For example, to search for test, tests or tester, you can use the search:
42	42
43		-{{code}}
	34	+{code}
44	44	test*
45		-{{/code}}
	36	+{code}
46	46
47	47	You can also use the wildcard searches in the middle of a term.

	46	+1.1 Boolean Operators
58	58
59		-Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Lucene supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators(Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS).
	48	+Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators. Lucene supports AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-" as Boolean operators(Note: Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS).
60	60
61	61	The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to a union using sets. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.
62	62
63	63	To search for documents that contain either "jakarta apache" or just "jakarta" use the query:
64	64
65		-{{code}}
	54	+{code}
66	66	"jakarta apache" jakarta
67		-{{/code}}
	56	+{code}
68	68

73		-{{/code}}
	62	+{code}
74	74
75		-=== AND ===
	64	+1.1.1 AND
76	76
77	77	The AND operator matches documents where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. This is equivalent to an intersection using sets. The symbol && can be used in place of the word AND.
78	78
79	79	To search for documents that contain "jakarta apache" and "Apache Lucene" use the query:
80	80
81		-{{code}}
	70	+{code}
82	82	"jakarta apache" AND "Apache Lucene"
83		-{{/code}}
	72	+{code}
84	84
85		-=== + ===
	74	+1.1.1 +
86	86
87	87	The "+" or required operator requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in a the field of a single document.
88	88
89	89	To search for documents that must contain "jakarta" and may contain "lucene" use the query:
90	90
91		-{{code}}
	80	+{code}
92	92	+jakarta lucene
93		-{{/code}}
	82	+{code}
94	94
95		-=== NOT ===
	84	+1.1.1 NOT
96	96
97	97	The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT.
98	98
99	99	To search for documents that contain "jakarta apache" but not "Apache Lucene" use the query:
100	100
101		-{{code}}
	90	+{code}
102	102	"jakarta apache" NOT "Apache Lucene"
103		-{{/code}}
	92	+{code}
104	104
105	105	Note: The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results:
106	106
107		-{{code}}
	96	+{code}
108	108	NOT "jakarta apache"
109		-{{/code}}
	98	+{code}
110	110
111		-=== - ===
	100	+1.1.1 -
112	112
113		-The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol.
	102	+The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol.
114	114
115	115	To search for documents that contain "jakarta apache" but not "Apache Lucene" use the query:
116	116
117		-{{code}}
	106	+{code}
118	118	"jakarta apache" -"Apache Lucene"
119		-{{/code}}

120	120
121		-=== Grouping ===
	110	+1.1.1 Grouping
122	122
123	123	Lucene supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries. This can be very useful if you want to control the boolean logic for a query.
124	124
125	125	To search for either "jakarta" or "apache" and "website" use the query:
126	126
127		-{{code}}
	116	+{code}
128	128	(jakarta OR apache) AND website
129		-{{/code}}
	118	+{code}
130	130
131	131	This eliminates any confusion and makes sure you that website must exist and either term jakarta or apache may exist.
132	132
133		-=== Field Grouping ===
	122	+1.1.1 Field Grouping
134	134
135	135	Lucene supports using parentheses to group multiple clauses to a single field.
136	136
137	137	To search for a title that contains both the word "return" and the phrase "pink panther" use the query:
138	138
139		-{{code}}
	128	+{code}
140	140	title:(+return +"pink panther")
141		-{{/code}}
	130	+{code}
142	142
143		-== Escaping Special Characters ==
	132	+1.1 Escaping Special Characters
144	144
145	145	Lucene supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax. The current list special characters are

	136	+{code}
148	148	+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
149		-{{/code}}
	138	+{code}
150	150
151		-To escape these character use the before the character. For example to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
	140	+To escape these character use the \ before the character. For example to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
152	152
153		-{{code}}
	142	+{code}
154	154	\(1\+1\)\:2
155		-{{/code}}

157		-== Searchable fields ==
