Search query help

Terms

A query can contain single terms such as "ranger" or "skills"

A query can contain phrases which are groups of words surrounded by double quotes such as "sand spitter"

Wildcards

Single or multiple character searches can be performed within single terms (but not within phrase queries)

To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol. This looks for a string that matches the term with the "?" replaced by any single character. For example to search for "text" or "test" you can use the following query:

To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol. This looks for a string that matches the term with the "*" replaced by any zero or more characters. For example to search for "augment" or "augmented" or "augmentations" you can use the following query:

NOTE: Wildcard patterns need at least a 3 character non-wildcard prefix. So "au*" will not work, but "aug*" will work.

Boosting a term

Search results are sorted by relevance. To boost the relevance of a term use the caret "^" symbol with a number at the end of the term you are searching for. The higher the number the more relevant the term will be.

For example if you are searching for:

and you want the term:

to be more relevant then you could boost it by changing your search to:

Boolean operators

Boolean operators allow terms to be combined through logic operators.

The AND operator means that terms separated by AND must match some part of each result. To search for documents that contain "skill gem" and "support gem" use this query:

The OR operator means that terms separated by OR become optional. To search for documents that contain "skill gem" or "support gem" use this query:

The NOT operator excludes results that contain the term after NOT.

To search for documents that contain "skill gem" but not "support gem" use the query:
