  • e.g. specifying "pasta sauce", you would get posts which contain words such as "pasta sauce" or "pastasauce", but not necessarily "sauce of pasta" or "sauce pasta."
• Insert an asterisk (*) in a word without any space to search posts which contain the word(s) regardless of what the part of the asterisk is.
  • e.g. specifying pasta*sauce, you would get posts which contain words such as "pasta-sauce", "pasta and sauce" or "pasta sauce", but not necessarily "sauce of pasta."
• Prepend a minus sign (-) without any space to a word to search posts which do not contain the word(s).
  • e.g. specifying sauce -pasta, you would get posts which contain "sauce" but no "pasta."
• Specify two words separated by " OR " in upper case to search posts which contain either of words or both. This takes precedence over words separated by space(s) only.
  • e.g. specifying pasta OR sauce, you would get posts which contain at least one of "pasta" and "sauce."
• You can combine the above expression. Use a pair of parenthesis to group expressions if needed.
  • e.g. specifying italian pasta OR spaghetti sauce -(tomato OR olive), you would get posts which contain both "italian" and "sauce" and either of "pasta" and "spaghetti" but "tomato" nor "olive."
