+ | ### Content Search Options | ||
- | {{:/ | + | Search input: The input string is first split into search tokens, by its spaces and punctuation characters (which are ignored). Each of these search tokens are queried in Solr (using AND or OR operators). How these tokenized search terms are used in the query is dependent on the modifier flags that you have set when running the query. Searches are case insensitive. |
+ | |||
+ | Here's a worked example for the modifiers, if we are searching for "a summer holiday" | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Match exact word or phrase** - This searches for documents containing the exact phrase. If this string is found in the middle of a document, Solr will expect a proceeding word break (space or symbol) before the " | ||

+ | * **Whole word** - Given each of the word tokens " | ||
+ | * To find documents that must include all whole words, use the " | ||

+ | * **Use wildcards** - This is a combination of Ends with and Starts with. The pseudo query looks like: " | ||
+ | So, this could match "could you find my suncream for my summer holidays?" | ||
+ | If you use multiple modifiers, it becomes an OR between them. Here's some notes on that behaviour: | ||
