Visitors can type a few signs in the search box to say exactly what they want. They work on your search page out of the box, with AI search on or off.
The signs
"solar panel": quotes keep the words together as a phrase for the keyword part of the search. To make the phrase a must, put a plus sign in front of it.+solar: the result must contain the word.-used: the result must not contain the word.+"solar panel"and-"open box": the same, for a whole phrase.
Example: +laptop +"13 inch" -refurbished returns only 13 inch laptops, and never a refurbished one.
Good to know
- A word with a plus or minus sign works as a filter on the whole result list, so an excluded word stays excluded even when AI search finds pages by meaning.
- The signs count only at the start of a word:
e-mail,covid-19and1+1are searched as they are. - A search made only of excluded words, such as
-used, runs as a keyword search.
