Search Syntax Using Dismax Or

This follows a simple phrase based search process that does not support wild cards.

Search Features

Use + or - to denote mandatory or prohibited matches of a given phrase.
Use quotes to group phrases for more precise matching, such as "word1 word2".
Searches are case-insensitive such that upper and lower case letters are treated as indistinguishable, except for AND and OR special use words.
Each space separated word or phrase is automatically combined using an AND condition except when the following word or phrase does not have a leading + or - or except when AND is explicitly specified between words.
Explicitly add either the word AND (all upper-case) or the word OR (all upper-case) between each space separated word to override the default combining condition.
Trailing punctuation is generally ignored when matching and can be omitted (for example, Center, and Center should be treated as the same search).
This does not support boosting, for example word^1.0 has no meaning and attempts to match word^1.0 rather than word.
The following characters may have special meaning and may need to be escaped for literal matching using the escape character \: + - \.

Consider the following titles:

Using a search of my apple should produce:

Using a search of my^2.0 apple^1.0 should produce:

Using a search of "my apple" should produce:

Using a search of +my apple should produce:

Using a search of +my +apple should produce:

Using a search of +my -red +apple should produce:

Using a search of +my +red -apple should produce:

Using a search of +my -red -apple should produce:

Using a search of -apple should produce:

Using a search of "red apple" should produce:
