Sub-queries allow you to control the boolean logic during global searches by grouping clauses with parentheses. For example, to search for documents and forms that contain either "jakarta" or "apache" and "website", include the following sub-query in the query:
("jakarta" OR "apache") AND "website"
The above query ensures that "website" exists and that either term, "jakarta" or "apache", may exist.
You must escape special characters in global searches properly. To escape these characters, use the "\" (backslash) character before the special character. For example, to escape the special characters in a global search for (1+1):2, use the following query:
\(1\+1\)\:2
The following table lists the special characters:
