# Workorder Search

### Searching

By default, when you enter text into the search bar, it will search for anything the matches the beginning, middle or end of what you have entered. 

`end` would return:  **end**ing, **end**game, v**end**or, ag**end**a, tr**end**, bl**end**. 

### Wildcards

You may use the star (\*)  to match any character. This can be useful to find things that begin or end with something.

`end*` would return: tr**end,** bl**end** - but not the other examples above. 

### Operators

**And**

There is always implicit AND operator, so `hello world`  means that both "hello" and "world" must be present in the matching document.

#### Or 

If you want to find results that contain more than one pattern, you may combine the patterns using a pipe "|".

```
hello | world
```

#### Not

To exclude results that contain a word, you can prefix with an exclamation "!".

```
hello !world
```

#### Exact Phrase

If you want a specific sequence of characters, you may wrap them in double quotes to get an exact match.

```
"hello world"
"abcd-123"
```
