Using the search syntax and operators - 8.0

This search is based on the popular Apache Lucene search engine where the indexing of words in names and description:

• ignores case sensitivity. Therefore, the search for Customer will also return customer and CUSTOMER.
• ignores any space or special characters such as _ : . [ ] ( ) which are treated as word breakers by the search tokenizer. Therefore, search for "Customer ID" will also return 2023_CUSTOMER_ID, Customer:ID and Customer[id].

You can use and combine the following search syntax and operators:

Search syntax	Example	Search result
word(s)	purchase order	Returns any result which matches the words purchase or order.
"word word"	"purchase order"	Returns any result which matches the consecutive words (phrase) of purchase followed by order, with possible extra special characters in between, and possible extra words before or after that phrase.
."word_word"	."purchase_order"	Returns any result which matches the exact words (phrase) purchase order, without any other special characters in between, and without any other words before or after that phrase.
+word	+purchase +order	Returns any result which contains both purchase and order.
-word	account -name	Returns any result which matches the word account and does not contain the word name.
word*	sale*	Returns any result which starts with sale.
word.word	purchaseorder.podate	Returns any result which matches both the parent and the child, for example, the attribute podate contained within the entity purchaseorder.
