How to Search
Use the search bar to search for a specific word or phrase. This will bring up every document that contains that word as well as any stack name that contains that word. Below are some examples of operators you can use when searching.
AND Operator
'+' (plus sign) is used as an AND operator.
Example: hello + world would require hello and world to be in the document, but not necessarily as a phrase. A document that had a sentence: Hello Lindsay, and another sentence: the world spins around its axis, would be returned.
OR Operator
'|' (Shift + \) is used as an OR operator.
Example: hello | world would return documents that have either hello or world.
NOT Operator
'-' (minus sign) is used as a NOT operator.
Example: hello -world would return documents that have hello, but cannot have world in it.
Phrase Match
Quotes ("...") wrap a phrase to look for exact matches.
Example: "hello world" would only return documents that have hello world in that order. The example in the AND operator will not be returned for a phrase match search.
Wildcards
'*' (asterisks) are used as a wildcard operator.
Example: hel* would return documents with help, hello, hell, etc.
A useful example of this is to get a list of documents associated with certain account or invoice number prefixes.
Fuzziness
The fuzzy operator '~' is used after a word if you don't know the exact spelling. This is very useful for names if they were misspelled in documents.
Example: Lindsay~ would return documents with Lindsay and Lindsey.
Combining
And of course, you can combine operators to form a complex query. You can use parentheses to group queries too!
Example: Lindsay~ + ( receipt | invoice ) -aptus would return Lindsay's personal (not related to Aptus) receipts or invoices.
NOTE: You can also click into a certain stack and use the search bar to search only within that specific stack.
