But with the tips on this page, you can expand the focus of your query to give you more complete results. These tips will get you started with basic query language and acquaint you with the full power of Microsoft Index Server. </p><ul><li><p align=left>Look for words with the same prefix. For example, in your query form type <strong>key*</strong> to find <em>key</em>, <em>keying</em>, <em>keyhole</em>, <em>keyboard</em>, and so on. </p></li><li><p align=left>Search for all forms of a word. For example, in the form type <strong>sink**</strong> to find <em>sink</em>, <em>sinking</em>, <em>sank</em>, and <em>sunk</em>. </p></li><li><p align=left>Search with the keyword <strong>NEAR, </strong>rather than <strong>AND</strong>, for words close to each other. For example, both of these queries, <strong>system and manager</strong> and <strong>system near manager</strong>, look for the words <em>system</em> and <em>manager</em> on the same page. But with <strong>NEAR</strong>, the returned pages are ranked in order of proximity: The closer together the words are, the higher the rank of that page. </p></li><li><p align=left>Refine your queries with the <strong>AND NOT</strong> keywords to exclude certain text from your search. For example, if you want to find all instances of <em>surfing</em> but not <em>surfing the Net</em>, write the following query: </p><p align=left><code>surfing AND NOT the Net</code> </p></li><li>Add the <strong>OR</strong> keyword to find all instances of either one word or another, for example:<p><tt>Abbott OR Costello</tt> </p><p>This query finds all pages that mention Abbott or Costello or both. </p></li><li><p align=left>Put quotation marks around keywords if you want Index Server to take them literally. For instance, if you type the following query:<br><br><code>"system near manager"<br></code><br>Index Server will literally look for the complete phrase <em>system near manager</em>. But if you type the same query without the quotation marks:<em><br><br></em><code>system near manager<br></code><em><br></em>Index Server searches all documents for the words <em>system</em> and <em>manager</em>. </p></li></ul><p align=left>These hints will get you started, but for more complex queries and more examples, see the <a href="qrylang.htm">Query Language</a> page.</p><hr><p align=center><em>© 1996 by Microsoft Corporation.
