The site search engine can be found by clicking on the "search" link in the navigation bar which you will find at the top of each page.
The simplest form of search is to type in the text you want to find into the 'Search for' box, and press the Go! button.
Note: there are more advanced searches for the Campsite Directory
You can change the way the engine searches by selecting on the of the options:
The advanced search capability supports the following operators:
| +word | A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every row returned. |
| -word | A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned. |
| (no operator) | By default (when neither + nor - is specified) the word is optional, but the rows that contain it will be rated higher. (this is the same as the basic search). |
| >word <word | These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row. The > operator increases the contribution and the < operator decreases it. See the example below. |
| ( ) | Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions. Parenthesized groups can be nested. |
| ~word | A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the row relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. A row that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator. |
| word* | An asterisk ( * ) is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended. |
| " " | A phrase that is enclosed within double quote ( " ) characters matches only rows that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed. |
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean full-text operators:
