Summary of text term search options:
All the major constraints that can be placed on a text term in a search argument have now been introduced. Please let me know if I have missed any, no matter how trivial.
|
Common entry considerations
|
|
text
|
Single word text term. May be in any language and script.
|
|
(default)
|
Intra-word punctuation is considered; Inter-word punctuation is not
|
|
“phrase”
|
Multiple words in quotation marks
Bradley Granger noted: that the comma operator is supported inside phrases:,,, "theology of the (new,old) testament"
|
|
h:transliteration
a:transliteration
g:transliteration
s:transliteration
|
Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Syriac may be entered in transliteration which will be converted to original language script/spelling as a search argument
|
|
German:text
French:text
Italian:text
Portuguese:text
Spanish:text
English:text
|
The text may be tagged as being in a particular language using standardized language names.
|
|
Wild cards (use is discouraged as performance is poor)
|
|
*
|
match any sequence of zero or more characters
|
|
?
|
match 1 character in a word, and also matches zero characters at the end of a word.
|
|
Panel Menu constraints
|
|
Match case
|
Requires typographic case to be considered in the search.
|
|
Match all word forms
|
Allows other grammatical forms of the word to be considered as a match; applies only to languages for which a stemming routine is implemented.
|
|
Match equivalent references
|
Allow similar preaching theme, theological theme … etc. to be treated as a match
|
|
Advanced sensitivity constraints: all languages
All sensitivity constraints can be combined by separating with a comma, for example [match vowels, accents]
|
|
[match marks]text
|
Considers all non-spacing marks as significant
|
|
[match nomarks]text
|
Ignores all non-spacings marks
|
|
[match exact]
|
Legacy for [match marks]
|
|
[match all]
