+* Use '##~*xx##' or '##xx$##' to match words ending with '##xx##'.  
+* Use '##^word$##' to match exact words.  
+* Use //regex=auto// and '##re:##' like '##re:word.*xx##' or //regex=posix// to use Posix regular expressions. (not yet)  
+* Use //regex=auto// and '##//##' like '##/^word$/##' or //regex=pcre// to match using Perl -style regular expressions.

  • 'OR', grouping with parenthesis, string-quoting and some glob-style wildcard characters are also supported.
  • To exclude words from a title search or full text search, prepend a '-'.
  • Use '^xx' or 'xx*' to match words starting with 'xx'.
  • Use '*xx' or 'xx$' to match words ending with 'xx'.
  • Use '^word$' to match exact words.
  • Use regex=auto and 're:' like 're:word.*xx' or regex=posix to use Posix regular expressions. (not yet)
  • Use regex=auto and '//' like '/^word$/' or regex=pcre to match using Perl-style regular expressions.
  • Use regex=sql to match using SQL-style wildcards '%' and '_'.
  • Use regex=none to match any wildcards verbatim.

Example

  • 'wiki text -php' looks for all pages containing the words 'wiki' and 'text', but not containing the word 'php'.
