The query language used by the DTS website search engine is defined by the following list:
- The search string is a series of tokens
- Tokens are words, or phrases enclosed in double quotes. For example, the search string: 'abend acc "this is a test"' is three tokens: [abend],[ acc], and [this is a test] and would match articles with the words [abend] AND [acc] AND the phrase [this is a test]
- The search is insensitive to case
- There is an implicit 'AND' between the search tokens
- There are 4 special tokens: 'AND', 'OR', '(', and ')'
- The 'AND' and 'OR' tokens can be used to define the search logic. For example, 'abend OR acc' or 'abend AND acc' which is equivalent to 'abend acc'
- The '(' and ')' tokens can be used to group token. For example, 'abend AND (*0c4 OR *b37)'
- The '*' character is a wildcard character and can appear anywhere in a token. For example, 'abend*', '*abend', '*0c4', 'DTS*04', etc.
- Using a wildcard in the middle of a token may return more results than expected. For example, 'DTS*99' would match 'DTS51399' and 'DTS51048 and version 4.1 DTS41099'
