SEARCH – ADVANCED OPTIONS

As well as the in search options available by clicking on the button, special keywords can be used to
help refine your search enabling you to find what you are looking for more easily

Begin your search using one of the special keywords

(see table below) followed by a colon : and then your
desired search term
e.g. term-exact:information

When searching for a phrase rather than a single word,

type your search term in-between brackets () e.g.
termdef:(ordered set of eight bits)

Press Enter or click on the Search icon

Keyword Search Behaviour example

term Searches terms only (does not return any hits found in the definition of the term) term:information
term-exact As above but only returns results exactly matching the search term used (case sensitive, no stemming) term-exact:information
termdef Searches within terminology definitions only (opposite to searching using "term") termdef:(ordered set of eight bits)
code Searches the principle code only (Does not return any hits found in the definition) code:en
AND Returns results where all search terms (separated by the AND statement) match term:quality AND term:management
OR
h e l p d e s k @Returns
i s o . o rresults
g where at least one of the search terms (separated by the OR statement) match code:en OR code:fr Page 9|9
