Advanced Search Tips for KSearch 1.5b

• Searching can be expanded with a wildcard (*).

Adding a * to the end of a term will match all endings. For example: 'test*' will match 'tests' 'tested' 'testing' etc.
Stop-terms are included in wildcard searches.

• Weights can be applied by adding <2-10000> in front of terms or phrases.

For example:

The query above will weight scores 100 and 500 times greater for documents containing 'term' and 'a phrase', respectively.
The scores for documents containing only 'none' will remain unchanged. The weight must be in the range of 2-10000.
Add + (inclusion) in front of weights. The results will be sorted by weighted scores.
