Given that, no colon ":" suffixes the term, then the default query is constructed for text searches. The default query is: ```text (cm:name:"[term]*" OR cm:title:"[term]*" OR cm:description:"[term]*" OR TEXT:"[term]*" OR TAG:"[term]*") ``` Note that compared to Share the following defaults are removed from ACA: ```text OR ia:whatEvent:"[term]*" OR ia:descriptionEvent:"[term]*" OR lnk:title:"[term]*" OR lnk:description:"[term]*" ``` ### Key facts If you have entered more than one word into the search input box, then the search query is constructed automatically using an `AND` operation. I you have entered more than one word encapsulated in quotation marks, then the search query is constructed treated everything as a single string. If you have entered more than one word separated by `AND`, then the search query is constructed using an `AND` conjunction. If you have entered more than one word separated by `OR`, then the search query is constructed using an `OR` disjunction. If you have entered an `=` symbol before the search term, then the search query is constructed using exact term matching. ### Examples | Search Type | Search input | Expected result | | --- | --- | --- | | Single Term | banana | Nodes that contain the term **banana** in any content | | Conjunction | big yellow banana | Nodes that contain all of the terms **big**, **yellow**, and **banana** | | Phrase | "big yellow banana" | Nodes that contain all of the terms **big**, **yellow**, and **banana** | | Conjunction | big AND yellow AND banana | Nodes that contain all of the terms **big**, **yellow**, and **banana** | | Disjunction | orange OR banana OR apple | Nodes that contain at least one of the terms **orange**, **banana** or **apple** | | Exact term | =orange | Nodes that contain the exact term **orange** in any content |
