  • Boolean operators:
    • Infix: or/OR, and/AND
    • Prefix: +, -/not
  • By default it matches partial words and ORs search terms together.
  • Search is case-insensitive.
  • Group words inside "double quotes" to match phrases.
  • Put spaces inside " double " quotes to match exact words.
  • You can use regular expressions within search terms (up to a point: suck it and see). I’m using blosxom’s find plugin, unhacked.
