To find a specific document on our website, you can refine your search engine query by using logical operators and special characters.
The search engine allows you to give a fuzzy definition of a search criterion or to combine several search words within the same query.
Special characters in a search string:
| ? |
Use the question mark as a wildcard for a single character in a search string, for instance, in cases where you are not quite sure about the spelling: 'Ma?rolon' will find both 'Makrolon' and 'Macrolon'. |
| |
| * |
Use an asterisk as a wildcard to represent several character within a search string. For instance, 'Polyurethan*' would find both 'Polyurethane' and 'Polyurethanes'. |
You can combine two words with an operator:
| AND |
The search will only find documents that contain both words. |
| |
| OR |
The search will find all documents that contain at least one of the two words. |
| |
| NOT |
The search will find all documents that contain the first word, but not the second one. |
