'apple banana'

'+apple +juice'

'+apple macintosh'
Find rows that contain the word “apple”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “macintosh”.
'+apple -macintosh'
Find rows that contain the word “apple” but not “macintosh”.
'+apple ~macintosh'
Find rows that contain the word “apple”, but if
the row also contains the word “macintosh”,
rate it lower than if row does not. This is
“softer” than a search for '+apple
-macintosh', for which the presence of
“macintosh” causes the row not to be returned
at all.
'+apple +(>turnover <strudel)'
Find rows that contain the words “apple” and “turnover”, or “apple” and “strudel” (in any order), but rank “apple turnover” higher than “apple strudel”.
'apple*'
Find rows that contain words such as “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, or “applet”.
'"some words"'
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some
words” (for example, rows that contain “some
words of wisdom” but not “some noise
words”). Note that the
“"” characters that enclose
the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase.
They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search
string itself.
