Excluding search terms

You want to perform a search in which a specific term is not to be included. You can use the minus sign (-) to do so.

You have to add a space character before the minus sign to exclude words from the search. Otherwise, the minus sign is understood as a word separator.

Let’s assume you have a dossier containing the following documents:

  • Buy great-value bath fittings online

  • Delivery Note 234567: Mats for baths

The following examples show how you can use the minus sign in the search.

Example 1: Searching with a minus sign with a space character

If you search for bath -fittings, you get the following result: Delivery Note 234567: Mats for baths

Example 2: Searching with a minus sign without a space character

If you search for bath-fittings, you get the following result: Buy great-value bath fittings online

The minus sign is understood as a word separator in this case.
