Each word in the search term is matched independently within each file. To search for an exact phrase, surround it with quotes, for example`"star wars"`. To search for quoted text within an exact phrase, you can_escape_the quotes by adding a backslash (`\`) in front of the quote, for example`"they said \"hello\" to each other"`.
You can control whether to return files that contain_all_the words in your search term, or_any_of the words:
-`meeting work`returns files that contain both`meeting`and`work`.
-`meeting OR work`returns files that contain either`meeting`or`work`.
You can even combine the two in the same search term.
-`meeting work OR meetup personal`returns files for work meetings and personal meetups.
You can use parentheses to control the priority of each expression.
-`meeting (work OR meetup) personal`returns files that contain`meeting`,`personal`, and either`work`or`meetup`.
To exclude, or negate, a word from the search results, add a hyphen (`-`) in front of it:
-`meeting -work`returns files that contain`meeting`but not`work`.
You can exclude multiple expressions:
-`meeting -work -meetup`returns files that contain`meeting`but not`work`or`meetup`.
You can exclude a combination of expressions using parentheses:
-`meeting -(work meetup)`returns files that contain`meeting`but not_both_`work`and`meetup`.
