Search Entry Box Syntax Cheetsheet?

Recommended Posts

I've been hobbling together some of the syntax for the search entry box to do some power searches. The help file has moved me in the right direction but I still feel I'm missing something. I am getting more comfortable with the Search drop down menu but still think there is more I could do.

 

I've been thinking of putting together a cribsheet of the syntax of search commands but before I start I was wondering if anyone has one they'd like to share or has something started?

 

I love accordance and would like to get the most out of it I can.

Have you looked in Help/Advanced Features/Search Criteria? and at the summary in Help/Reference/Menus/Search?

That is close, Helen. Thanks for point it out. It was where I began to get some idea of how to use the search syntax.

 

But I'm thinking of a bit more. For example, I started using the drop down menu to define ranges until I came across the [Range] command in the help menu. Then it took me a while to figure out that it had to be "[Range book-book] <and> word".

 

I guess I'll have to start hobbling one together with examples! :)
