MozCaml: The Objective Caml SideBar Tab for Mozilla
Searching Instructions
MozCaml provides on-line search engines for the Objective Caml
manual and the Caml
humps, which are powered by Swish-e. Both use the same syntax for
query strings.
Boolean Operators
You can use the boolean operators and, or, or not in
searching. Without these boolean operators, Swish-e will assume you're
anding the words together. The operators are not case
sensitive. Evaluation takes place from left to right only, although
you can use parentheses to force the order of evaluation.
For instance
(word1 or word2) and not word3
retrieves entries containing either "word1" and
not "word3" or "word2" and not "word3".
Truncation
The wildcard (*) is available, however it can only be used at the end
of a word. For instance, the query
doc
only retrieves the entries which contain "doc". On the other hand:
doc*
retrieves all entries containing a word beginning with "doc",
e.g. "documentation".
Fields
It is possible to restrict the search in some fields of entries: to
limit a search to words found in a specific field, just prefix the
keywords with the name of the field, followed by the equal sign:
author=leroy or weis
Such queries can be combined using the boolean operators:
(author=leroy or weis) and caml
