Search strings

Hi,

I have not found a guide which explains what Shareaza Search strings and Booleans are available.

"John Smith"

John AND Smith

John OR Smith

And so on.

Advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Glenn

Boolean operands are unavailable. But you can use "-" to provide negative keywords during G2 searches or later in any filter.

Thank you.

Is it possible to use quoted searches in any way e.g.

"John Smith"

including the space in the middle?

These are all G2 only but you can use them in the filter box at the bottom as well to narrow down the results you receive from other networks

My thanks also to you.

Those two pages you kindly shared make very clear what is and is not possible.

May I suggest that they could both be usefully provided within a Search Tips addition to the Shareaza Help drop-down menu?
