SingleCase

Operators can help you refine your search results if there are too many, or get to a specific document quickly.

For example, you can limit your search results to documents that contain a specific phrase, or exclude documents containing a specific word from your search results.

The table below lists all the logical search operators that are allowed:

* at least 3 letters must precede the question mark or asterisk

subscription | issue | shares - returns all documents with at least one of the selected words;

contract purchase | work | transfer - returns all documents containing contract and at least one of the words purchase, work, transfer;

contract purchase | work | transfer* – similar to the previous one, but also returns e.g. documents containing e.g. transferable contract

(agreement | contract) (transaction | transfer) – returns all documents that match the combination of a word in the first bracket with a word in the second bracket (transaction agreement, transfer agreement, transaction contract, transfer contract);

(cat !mouse) | (cat !bear) - returns all documents where there is cat but no mouse, or where there is cat but no bear (i.e. there cannot be mouse and bear together);

!contract - beware, this purely negative definition (all documents that do not contain the word contract) cannot be searched independently.
