The search engine will find documents containing as many of these words and phrases as possible, ranked so that the documents most relevant to your query are presented first. Don't worry about missing a document because it doesn't have one of the words in your search. The search engine returns relevant results even if they don't contain all query terms.
A phrase is entered using double quotation marks, and only matches those words which appear adjacent to each other. Separate multiple phrases or proper names with a comma.
Search terms in lowercase will match words in any case, otherwise, an exact case match is used. For example, gsm will find matches for Gsm, gsm, and GSM, whereas a query for GSM will only match GSM.
The search engine supports a simple query syntax which gives you the precise search power of Boolean logic, without having to remember complex queries. The table below shows the search operators that correspond to Boolean operators:
You can restrict searches to certain portions of web documents by using field syntax. This allows you to search for web page titles, urls, embedded hypertext links, and any additional information defined with an HTML meta tag. The field name should be in lower case, and immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces after the colon and before the search terms.
link:www.ericsson.com
Matches pages that contain at least one link to a page with www.ericsson.com in its URL. For example, you can use +link:www.ericsson.com -site:www.ericsson.com to see how many external links point to the Ericsson Corporation website. url:research
Finds pages with the word research anywhere in the page's URL. For example: http://www.ericsson.com/infocenter/
publications/contact/Research.html title:"Investor Relations"
Finds pages with the phrase "Investor Relations" in the title portion of the document. description:R380
Finds pages with an HTML meta tag with name description and with content containing R380. For example: <meta name="description" content="R380 smartphone wap calendar pda">
This is an example of a field defined by an HTML meta tag. There is nothing special about the word description. Any search field can be defined with a meta tag, as long as the name of the field is a single word written in lower case letters.
