Web Style Query

The Web Style Query is similar to Command Based queries except instead of using the powerful and comprehensive Query Syntax, it uses a far more limited query language which is similar to that used by major public Internet search engines.

The default website's search box on the front page will perform a Web Style query. This can be modified using standard Perceptive Enterprise Search search page customization techniques.

To construct your query type in your search terms using conventions commonly used by major public Internet search engines:

• Where multiple words are used in a query Perceptive Enterprise Search will find documents with all of the words (the words are assumed to be AND-ed).
• Where a word is preceded with a plus sign ("+"), that word must occur (the word is AND-ed).
• Where a word is preceded by OR then either the preceding or following term may occur.
• Where a word is preceded with a minus sign ("-"), that word must not occur (the word is NOT-ed).
• Where multiple words are enclosed in quotes, those words must appear as an exact phrase.
