Search ####### Use the input at the top of the Nano Webapp to issue searches across Rooms and Drive contents. Overview ********* When you start a search query with no rooms opened the webapp will give you the option to search globally. Searching while a room is opened will prompt you if you want to search within the room or if you want to search globally. The search results will contain detailed information about each found result and the reason why it satisfies the search terms. When searching globally the web application searches within all of your owned Rooms, including all Rooms which are shared to you by other Nano users. Searching is done in the file name and their content as well. Search rules ************* The basic rules for evaluating search terms are: - Search terms have no priority based on their order - All terms are looked for, but it is not required for a result to contain every search term word - Terms are not case or accent sensitive, but exact matches are valued more - Results where the search term appears more will have a higher match value Search fine tuning ******************* You can further narrow down your search results with a few different search operators. - Prefixing a term with "+" (plus sign) will make it mandatory in every result - Prefixing a term with "-" (minus sign) will make it prohibited in every result - Search expressions may be created with binding terms together with "AND", "OR", "NOT" operators and parentheses grouping Search examples **************** Let's say we have a large amount of different file resources about cats and dogs and other animals, and we want to search for specific results among them. To search for dogs and cats, where either is enough to be present in a result: cat dog cat OR dog To search for specific phrases: "black dog" "white cat" To search for dogs and cats, where both have to be in every result: +cat +dog cat AND dog To search for dogs and cats, where cat has to be in every result: +cat dog To search for dogs without cats: -cat dog !cat dog -cat +dog NOT cat AND dog To search for dogs and cats or birds, where dog and cat are insufficient on their own to be in a result: (+cat +dog) bird (cat AND dog) OR bird
