The OhioBiz search engine accepts the following syntax:
+word
Placing a plus sign in front of a word will require that all records
returned by the search contain that word.
-word
Placing a minus sign in front of a word will ensure that no records
returned by the search contain the word.
“phrase search”
Placing quotes around a string of words will direct the search to
return records containing the string of words in the specified order.
+“phrase search”
Placing a plus sign in front of a quoted string of words will require
that all records returned by the search contain the string of words in
the specified order.
-“phrase search”
Placing a minus sign in front of a quoted string of words will ensure
that no records returned by the search will contain the string of
words in the specified order.
substring*
Placing an asterisk next to a word or string will return records that
contain the word or string as part of a larger string, dependant on
which side of the word or string the asterisk is placed. For example,
searching for “bar*” would return “barber”, “*bar” would return “foobar”,
and “*bar*” would return “foobarber”. Note that the asterisk does not
require that the search string be preceded or followed by any other
string: searching for “bar*”, “*bar” or “*bar*” would also return
“bar”.
