Help talk:Advanced searches in the wikiEdit This Page

Revision as of 20:22, 10 August 2011 by VasquezJL (Talk | contribs)

The Lucene search engine uses the hyphen in place of the NOT operator. I changed the text and examples to reflect this function.Tomhuber 06:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Need better examples

This question or concern is currently unresolved.

The ? wild card does not work in the examples.

In #1 under Mixing Advanced Features, the "phrase search" needs a better example. It needs at least a two-word example.

In the section under Phrase Search, New York City and Family History Library have the same results, whether using double quotes or not. Use better examples. {{subst:unsigned|Pattyjensen}}

OR explanation incorrect

This question or concern has been resolved.

The explanation of the OR operator does not seem to be entirely correct.  It states "This will search for articles that contain either "word1" or "word2," but not both words together on the same page."  However, if you do a search using the example of census OR tax the first article has both words in the same sentence. {{subst:unsigned|BobCurry54}}

What do you think about the rewording done now? -- janellv (talk | contribs) 20:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)


Article Title

This question or concern is currently unresolved.

Why is this article named Boolean Searches instead of Advanced Searches?  Most of the references to this article identify it as Advanced. sbfunk 18:22, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree, that should be changed, maybe to "Help:Advanced Searching in the Wiki"? or just "Help:Advanced Searching"? -- janellv (talk | contribs) 20:22, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
