Search Tips
Please find below for some of the advanced search tips for QPAC site search engine:
- Phrase search ("")
Find a phrase by surrounding multiple words in quotes. For example, a search for Dining Package will return pages that contain those words
together in that order.
- OR operator
Applying OR operator between search terms return all pages that contains one or more of those words. QPAC site search's default behavior is to consider all
the words in a search. For example, a search for Dining Package or Dining OR Package return all documents that contain
Dining or Package.
- AND operator
Applying AND operator between search terms return all pages that contains all of those words, or alternatively, use the plus + operator. For example, a search for Dining AND Package or +Dining +Package return all documents that contain both Dining or Package.
- NOT operator
Precede your search term with a minus (-) symbol to exclude documents that contain that word, or alternatively, use the word NOT. For example, Dining NOT Package or Dining -Package will return all documents that contain Dining, but not Package.
- Grouping
Use parentheses to form sub-queries. For example, (Dining OR Accomodation) AND Package will return documents that contain Package and either Dining or Accomodation.
- Wildcards
Match for words that contain 0 or more characters within or after the search term (note that wildcards cannot appear at the beginning of a search term).
- * matches 0 or more characters of any kind.
- ? matches 0 or 1 character of any kind.
- te?t will find all documents that contain, for example, "test" and "text".
- atmosp* will find all documents that contain those characters, e.g. "atmosphere", "atmospheric", etc.
