Operators

SimpleOne search operators are helpful for building clear and exact query statements according to user needs. Configure your queries with one and more operators below.

OperatorDescriptionExample
A * B

The asterisk operator matches any character and even 



A ? B

This operator matches any single character. 

This is useful in need to limit the amount of characters you search, ex., the statement ??? returns 3 any characters.



A AND B

This operator returns results related to both A and B.

It is very useful to apply this operator when building a query with other operators, otherwise, SimpleOne uses the asterisk (*) for regular searches as default.



A OR BThe operator returns results related to A, or B, or both.
A NOT B


The operator (!) can also be used in place of "NOT".
