Search is case-insensitive

The search is case-insensitive. There is no possibility to make the search case-sensitive.

Search using single word

Entering a single word will yield hits for the exact occurrence of that word (not, for instances, where the search term is a part of a word).

Using multiple words

Entering several words will search using and OR filter between the words.

Using quotes around several words

Placing double-quotes around several words will yield search results where the exact combination of terms inside the double-quotes are found.

Using asterisk/star(*) at the end of a search term

A search term can be appended (at the end of a word) with an asterisk/star to search for a part of a word.

Search using ID

Use the syntax id=<prefix> <number> e.g. id=RQ 23
