Entering a search request

A search request consists of words and boolean operators. All words are case insensitive, which means that hElLo is the same as HELLO. The boolean operators are the symbols '+' or '&' (for AND), '-' or '|' (for OR) ( "|" is the character above the "\" key), and '!' (NOT).

For example: you're looking for those low-priced Korean cars, and you think the make is spelled hyunday or hyundai you would type:

hyunday | hyundai

Which means "search for the word hyunday OR hyundai". You could also try using the wild-card:

hyunda*

Which means "search for anything beginning with hyunda".

Now let's say you're looking at a car dealership site, and you want to find something on sports cars and trucks, but not Porsches. You would type:

sports* | trucks* & !porsches

Which means "anything beginning with sports OR anything beginning with trucks AND NOT anything with porsches".
