ULLTEXT search engine supports Boolean mode This means it is possible to use keywords in combination with Boolean operators If you type in multiple keywords without any Boolean operators those keywords will be combined with OR logical operator The Boolean FULLTEXT search capability supports the following operators 2 oe eee a a a ees e A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every row returned e A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned A single keyword prefixed with a minus sign does not work The EFDB does not return any results By default when neither plus nor minus is specified the word is optional but the rows that contain it will be rated higher e lt gt These two operators are used to change a word s contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row The lt operator decreases the contribution and the gt operator increases it See the example on page 18 Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions e A leading tilde acts as a negation operator causing the word s contribution to the row relevance to be negative It s useful for marking noise words A row that contains such a word will be rated lower than others but will not be excluded altogether as it would be with the operator A single keyword prefixed with a tilde does not work The EFDB does not return any results e An asterisk is the truncation o
