machinery-related goods

Type	Special character(s)	Example
Phrase	" "	Use `" "` to find documents that contain your search terms next to each other. Example: `"companies act"` will find documents where "companies" and "act" are next to each other.
Boolean	AND	When `AND` is used, all the terms in your search will appear in the returned documents, even if the terms are far apart from each other. Example: `pensions AND social` will find documents that contain both the terms pensions and social. NB: this is the default setting, even without adding AND between terms.
Boolean	OR	Use `OR` when at least one of your search terms must appear in the results. You can use OR to search for synonyms, alternate spellings, or abbreviations. Example: `pensions OR social` will find documents that contain either of the terms pensions or social.
Boolean	NOT	Use `NOT` to exclude specific terms from search results. Example: `pensions OR social NOT tax` will find documents that contain the terms pensions or social, but not the term tax.
Wildcard	*	Use the wildcard `` to find a root word, plus all the words made by adding letters to the end of it. Example: `bank` will find "bank", "banks", "banker", "banking", and others NB: you can replace any character within a word e.g. ba*k
Wildcard	?	Use the wildcard `?` when you are unsure of how a term ends. Replace a character in the term, using a question mark for each character you want to replace. Example: `CR?` will find "CRD", "CRR", "CRA" and others.
Proximity	~[0-9]	Use the proximity search `~7`, this lets you look for terms based on whether they occur within a specified distance of each other. Example: `"retain stricter"~7` will find the word stricter within seven words of retain.
Fuzzy	~	Use the the fuzzy search `~` to find results even when the terms are partially spelt or misspelt. Example: `roam~` will find terms like roams, foam and foams. It will also match the word "roam" itself.
Grouping	( )	Use grouping `( )` when performing more complex searches. Example: `(adopt OR retain) AND stricter` will find either "adopt" or "retain" and "stricter".
Boosting	^	Use boosting `^` to promote the importance of a term. Example: `adopt^4 retain` will find results that prioritise the term adopt over the word retain.
