Xstreet's search functionality supports the following Boolean search operators:
- Natural Language Search. Enter keywords or a phrase without any operators to perform a weighted natural language search with the most relevant records displayed first.
- Exact Phrase. Enclose a phrase in double quotes to perform an exact match search. Example: "magic box"
- Required Words. Any word preceded by a plus sign (+) is considered required. Example: magic +box
- Unwanted Words. Any word preceded by a minus sign (-) is considered unwanted. Example: magic -box
- Negated Words. Any word preceded by a tilde (~) has its relevance lowered. It effectively lowers relative ranking of records containing the word. Example: magic ~box
- Stemming. Any word root followed by an asterisk (*) matches occurences of the root followed by any suffix: Example: box* matches boxes, boxed, boxing, etc.
Operators can be combined in a single search.
