Function of the search line
The search line supports the following functions:
Mehrwortsuche: If you are searching for multiple terms, they must be separated by a space. All terms are searched by a logical AND operation. Enthält der Suchbegriff selbst Leerzeichen, so muss dieser in Anführungszeichen gesetzt werden. If a search term starts with a "-", only search results that do not contain that term will be displayed.
Example1: "max muster" searches for "max* AND muster*".
Example2: "max -muster" search for "max* AND NOT muster*".Search by word beginning or full text: The "Search at the beginning of word" search mode can be set in the context menu of the search bar. If it is disabled, the "full text" search mode will be used. Additionally, the search mode for each search term can be controlled by using "regular expressions".
