Application techniques

When "sea and park" is input, information containing both "sea" and "park" can be searched for.
Likewise, if "park & sea" is specified, the same result will be obtained.
Besides "and", the following operators can be used.

Operators	Specification method	Explanation
and or &	park and sea	Information containing both "park" and "sea"
or or |	park or sea	Information containing either "park" or "sea"
not or !	not park	Information that does not contain "park"
near or ~	park near sea	Information which is near to "park" and "sea" (within 50 characters)

• "Park" and "sea" are the keywords to be searched for. Furthermore, by putting them within ( and ), the order of priority of the search can be specified.
• When a word like "and" or "or" is to be used as a keyword, it is put in double quotation marks (") as "and".

Input-related matters that require attention

• Please enter all the operators and other symbols using half-size alphanumeric characters.
• When multiple consecutive keywords are specified, they are handled as a phrase. When the keywords do not appear in the same order as in the phrase inside the information, they are not considered as search targets.
• There is no distinction between upper case letters and lower case letters.
• Punctuation marks such as periods (.), colons (:), semicolons (;) and commas (,) are not considered as search targets.
• When English "articles", "the verb to be", the Japanese "‚ �T", etc. are specified as keywords, they are ignored.
• Symbols such as &, |, ^, #, @, $, (, ), etc. are not considered as search targets. When it is necessary to search for them, they are put in double quotation marks(").
