Example: "Совет Федерации" * — Use the asterisk [*] as a wildcard to find the same word with different endings. Example: литерат* (returns articles containing the words литература, литератор, etc.) ? — Use the question mark [?] as a wildcard to find variations for only one character. Example: р?д (finds 'род', 'рад', 'ряд') /n — this operator limits the distance between the words in queries and phrases Example: (дума парламент)/10 законодательство — the word ‘законодательство’ must be within the limits of 10 words from the word ‘дума’ or ‘парламент’. 'AND' operator will look for matches to ALL words in the same document or field. Example: 'президент AND Дума' (returns articles with BOTH words) 'NOT' — excludes a word from your search. Put it immediately in front of the term you want to avoid. Example: президент NOT Дума (returns documents with 'президент' that do not contain 'Дума') A search conducted with 'OR' or [space] between words will look for matches to ANY word or words specified in the search field.
