Simple Searching
How do I search for a specific word?
Definition:
A word is any string of more than one
letters and/or digits.
Words do not include non-alphanumeric characters (i.e. ! @ # $
% ^ & ) and white space (spaces, tabs, etc.). The following
are examples of words:
AllThatJazz, abcdef,
1997, John
The following would be interpreted as one word:
don't as don
because ' is punctuation, and t
is one letter.
Texas A&M as Texas
with A, & and M
being eliminated for similar reasons.
The following would be interpreted as two words:
http://www as http
and www
sub-folder as sub
and folder
The Searcher is case-insensitive, thus mike, MIKE, and Mike are equivalent when searching.
