4. Supported Search Syntax
| Feature | Syntax | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Search with multiple words | Word 1 space Word 2 Example: aws ebs | Search will return results containing either of the words (OR) |
| Search with AND operator | Word 1 + Word 2 Example: aws + ebs | Search will return results containing both words (AND) |
| Search with NOT operator | Word 1 - Word 2 Example: aws - ebs | Search will exclude the results containing the word after - |
| Search with wildcard | Word 1* Word 2 Example: aws* ebs | Search will include results matching the wildcard. Wildcard can only be used at the end of a word. |
| Exact match | "Complete Search Words" Example: "Audit: Force audit policy" | Search will return results containing the exact phrase inside the quotes. |
Info
- A combination of AND and OR operators is supported in SAFE.
Example: aws + ebs - buckets - Wildcard can only be used at the end.
- When the search text contains + or - then the entire word should be wrapped in quotes.
Example: “c++” would search for the prog language by just specifying c++ would not. This also needs to be made intuitive to the user while they are using the free text. - Some of the operators such as < (Ranking) are supported in REST API but not in the SAFE UI.
Known Issues
- Using operator - in a word is not currently supported with a wildcard.
Example: DEL-* - Using operator + in a word right before the wildcard * (test+*) is also not supported. However, it can be used after a letter (i.e., test+b* is supported).
