Search Query Rules

• Each search term in the query must be explicitly tagged with a field tag. Different fields must be connected with search operators.

• Extraneous spaces are ignored by the product. For example, extra spaces around opening and closing parentheses ( ) and equal (=) signs are ignored.

• For set combinations, enter a number (#) sign before each set number in the query.

• Only use SAME in Address searches. When used in other searches (such as Topic), SAME works exactly like AND.

• The total number of search sets that you can create during a session is 200.
