Search

When browsing posts on OrcasHub, the search box will allow you to refine which posts are displayed. The syntax for searching is described here.

Queries can be simple phrases, and are not case sensitive.

Kitchen Table

Search for an exact phrase by surrounding it with double quotes.

"Kitchen Table"

An exact phrase will only match if the words appear exactly as written, where as a simple phrase will match if all of the words are present anywhere in the post.

Queries can exclude certain words. This example would show any tables that do not include the words kitchen or coffee.

Table -Kitchen -Coffee

Search terms can use an "or" to group terms using the "|" symbol and surrounding with parenthesis. This example would show any tables that have either Coffee or Kitchen in the post.

Table (Coffee | Kitchen)

These tools can be combined to create more expressive queries.

Table (Dining | Kitchen) -Coffee

A search must have at least one positive search term. You may not use only exclusions. For example, this search would not be valid.

-Coffee -Kitchen
