Query Syntax
    Search by Words or Phrases
     
Keywords Search
 
Users can enter a single keyword in the query box (e.g., [Potato]), OES will search for information that contains the word "Potato" and display search results in the web page.
 
 
Users can enter multiple keywords in the query box, OES will assign a score to each keyword by comparing the frequency and location of each keyword, and generate proper results. Keyword scores differ based on keyword frequency and where those keywords are located in the article.
 
The earlier those keywords appear in the article, the higher the score.
  An article will be given a higher score with keyword that appears more frequently in an article.
  An article will be given a higher score when keywords in the article are located closer to one another.

Consequently, when the user enters keywords [Couch Potato], OES will search for information that contains both "Couch" and "Potato", and generate the search results based on the above scoring criteria.
 
Note
1. Because of the search performance concern, OES will ignore specific word, such as 「a」and「of」.
2. The queries OES provided are case-insensitive.

Phrases Search
  To conduct a phrase search, simply place quotation marks around two or more words, OES will search for documents containing an exact sentence or phrase specified by the user.

When the user enters search strings ["Couch Potato"], OES will only search for information that contains the exact phrase "Couch Potato". Constraints on phrase search are as follow:
 
Double quotes must be in half-width characters
 
This option can be used in combination with the Boolean Query, with an exception that no Boolean Operator can be included inside double quotes
   
  Correct Usage: "Windows Server" and Microsoft
  Incorrect Usage: "Windows & Server" and Microsoft
