Description:

This document describes how you can combine several search terms in the search function of the LANCOM Support Knowledge Base to optimize the search results.

Exact phrase search

Use the double quotation mark (") to search for content that contains, for example, the phrase 'yellow book' or where 'book' and 'yellow' are major words.

"yellow book"

Example:

1. Searching for "yellow book" only returns pages that have 'yellow' immediately before 'book'.
2. Searching for "a yellow" will not display pages containing only the 'a' because 'a' is a stop word.
