SearchPages 

WWW jiinny.com

• You can search pages by combining words with &(and) and |(or). There must be a blank in front and rear of them, otherwise each conditional operator will be a part of the word to search for. You will get a better result only by choosing proper words and operators.

• Keep in mind that blanks unadjacent immediately to a conditional operator will be target characters.

• You can also exclude a given word by prepending ~ to the word.

• Options: Search options like t, c, r, i, h, ~, R, M, P, -, and @ can be specified to limit the results of the given condition. ex) /ti, /it, /tir
  • t: Title: Search in title only
  • c: Content: Search in content only
  • r: RegularExpression: Search by regular expressions
  • i: IgnoreCase: Search case-insensitively
  • h: HighlightResults: Highlight the results
  • ~: Range: Search by ASCII code range
  • R: RecentChanges: Sort the results by modified time
  • M: MostPopular: Sort the results by hits count
  • P: RecentPages: Sort the results by created time
  • -: Reverse: Reverse the results of the previously sorted results
  • @: Random: Make the results random
  • If R, M, P, -, and @ are specified more than once, the last one is used.
  • If both t and c are specified, given condition should be matched both in title and content.
  • If only t is specified without c or ~ is given, h will be ignored.

• It is possible to search for a slash(/) following words by using dummy option that is a slash which comes last in a condition statement. ex) /t/, /it/, and // search for /t, /it, and / respectively.

Examples

• ( this | that) &  this place  &    three spaces just in front of this phrase
  The first blank followed by 'this' is a part of the word, so the first word is ' this'; ' | ' and ' & ' are conditional operators. Therefore this condition is used to search for pages which contain ' this' or 'that', and ' this place ' and '   three spaces just in front of this phrase'.
  Note that the four spaces in front of 'three spaces' are not all part of the condition because & should eat up two adjacent spaces to be an and conditional operator.

• (wiKiX&CellVic & wikiZ) | PDA
  Search for pages which contain 'wiKiX&CellVic' and 'wikiZ'; or 'PDA'.

• wikiz/i
  Search case-insensitively for pages which contain wikiz. ex) wikiz, wikiZ, wIkIz,...

• ~WikiWiki & wikiZ
  Search for pages which have no 'WikiWiki' but have 'wikiZ'.

• a ~b
  In this case, ~ is not an exclude operator because it is not adjacent to & nor |, so the word is 'a ~b' itself.

• ~(a | b)
  If you think that the above condition is equivalent to ~a & ~b, it's absolutely wrong; ~ operator can not be applicable in front of parentheses. It's not a valid condition, so no page might be searched for.

• a/t~ or a ~ /t~
  Search for page names which start with 'a' or above 'a' in ASCII value(>='a').
  Note that ~ operator should also be surrounded by two spaces.

• a ~ ca/t~
  Search for page names which start with >='a' and <'ca'.

• D ~ \x74/t~
  Search for page names which start with >='D' and <0x74 hexadecimal ASCII code.

• ~ s/t~
  Search for page names which start with <'s'.
