Boolean Search
Boolean searches use their own special query language and stopwords are omitted from the search; so a search for “currently” will return no results even if there are images with the word “currently” in their title/description. The 50% threshold forced on natural language searches does not apply.
Also, please be aware that the Boolean Search does not function on tags. It only works on titles and descriptions.
Boolean search special operators
| Not using an operator | Implies OR |
| + | Stands for “AND” |
| – | Stands for “NOT” |
| > | Changes the relevance of the following term to a higher level |
| < | Changes the relevance of the following term to a lower level |
| ~ | Changes the relevance of the following term to no level |
| * | Wildcard — applied only after a search term |
| “ | Like natural language search, this forces results that match in the exact order presented inside quotes |
| () | It creates a sub-expression that can be nested. |
