Modifier Reference

Modifiers are used in conjunction with operators. A modifier changes the standard behavior of an operator. For example, you can use the CASE modifier with an operator to specify that the case of the search word you enter be considered a search element as well. Modifiers include CASE, MANY, NOT, and ORDER.

There are two syntax formats used to specify modifiers with operators. Using the first format, you specify the modifier name before the operator name, as shown in the table below. Please note that most of the modifiers can only be used with particular operators.

Using the second syntax format, you specify the modifier name with the operator name as follows: <OpName/ModName>. This second syntax is valid only for the CASE and NOT modifiers.
