# Single term query
The query specifies only one term for retrieving all documents which contain the term.
e.g, ink
-->You will get the list of all documents which contain “ink”.
# AND query
The query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all documents which contain both terms. You can insert the and operator between the terms.
e.g, digital and printer
-->You will get the list of all documents which contain “digital” and “printer”.
You can omit the and operator. Terms which is separated by one ore more spaces is assumed to be AND query.
# OR query
The query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all documents which contain either term. You can insert the or operator between the terms.
e.g, ecology or safety
-->You will get the list of all documents which contain “ecology” or “safety”.
# Substring matching
By the position of asterisk ( * ), there are three types of substring matching searching.
e.g, color* -->Searching by the terms which begin width “color” (Prefix matching).
*req* -->Searching by the terms contain “req” (Inside matching).
*system -->Searching by the terms terminated with “system” (Suffix matching).
# Notes
- If you gained no results ot too few results, you can add more related keywords and try OR query for more hittable. And if you gained too many results, you can add more related keywords and try AND query for more limited.
- Please check a spelling of your keywords. Namazu cannot find anything with wrong spelling.
- Namazu can handle a term which contains symbols like T-Color. Since this handling isn't complete, you can describe T and Color instead of T-Color, but it may cause noisy result.
- Substring matching takes more time than other methods.
- If you want to use and or or as ordinary keywords, you can surround them respectively with double quotes like " ... " or braces like { ... }.
