Terms

Quoted search term (double or single), or unquoted search term without whitespaces. For example, unquoted banana joe is the equivalent of ~banana or ~joe, whereas quoted "banana joe" performs an exact term match. Supports wildcards (* or ?). If wildcards are present, default operator is switched to "Equals" (=). Use "NotEquals" (!) to negate pattern.

Groups

Multiple search words or phrases may be grouped in a fielded query by enclosing them in parenthesis. Any group can be negated with a preceding ! (exclamation mark), e.g. !(banana and joe). Groups can be nested as often as required.
