We’ve noticed some users are experiencing challenges with search queries, so we wanted to share some tips on using our search syntax to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Common Search Syntax Issues
For example, we’ve seen queries like:
AI recession Palantir Tesla Nvda
While this will return results, it may not deliver the precise information you need.
Using Advanced Search Syntax
Our search system offers powerful capabilities when you use the correct syntax:
Basic Operators
- AND: Requires both terms to appear (default operator when terms are separated by spaces)
- OR: Requires at least one term to appear
- NOT: Excludes results containing the term
- Quotation marks (“”): Searches for an exact phrase
Example Improved Queries
Instead of:
AI recession Palantir Tesla Nvda
Try:
"AI recession" AND (Palantir OR Tesla OR NVDA)
This will find documents that discuss AI recession AND contain at least one of these companies.
Other helpful examples:
AI AND recession NOT "job cuts"
(Tesla OR NVDA) AND "market forecast"
Advanced Tips
- Use parentheses ( ) to group operations
- Use wildcards with asterisk *
- Use proximity searches with ~N (where N is the number of words)
For example:
"artificial intelligence"~3 recession
This finds documents where “artificial” and “intelligence” appear within 3 words of each other, along with “recession”.
We hope these tips help you get more value from your searches. If you have any challenges with the syntax or need help crafting the perfect query, please reach out to us at [email protected] – we’re happy to help you construct a search that gets exactly what you’re looking for!
