Five Advanced Search Tips
1. Searching for phrases: You can create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots.
2. Searches are case insensitive. Searching for "Fur" will match the lowercase "fur" and uppercase "FUR". Searches are also accent insensitive (this relates to Latin characters like õ).
3. Including or excluding words:
To make sure that a specific word is always included in your
search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the
search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from
your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the
search box.
Example: To find jobs requiring "neural networks" but not requiring citizenship,
try neural +networks -citizenship with Realm set to Jobs.
4. Expand your search using wildcards (*):
By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings.
Example: Try bio*, to find biology, bioinformatics, biotech, etc.
5. url:section text
Finds pages with the specified text while limiting the search to KDnuggets pages containing section in KDnuggets URL.
For example, use url:polls clustering to find all KDnuggets Polls that address clustering, or
use url:2004 pharma to find 2004 KDnuggets News stories concerning Pharma.
