Advanced search
Advanced search allows for combining multiple simple queries.
Combining queries
Each simple search may be performed in four ways similar to the ones in a simple search. One of three available logical operations may be performed on ordered queries: adding (OR), choosing a common part (AND) or choosing a difference (NOT).
Adding/deleting elements
Subsequent queries may be added up by clicking on a symbol "+" found in a bottom right corner of the advance search box; and they can be subtracted by clicking on a symbol "-" located on the right side of the simple query field which is to be deleted.
Reordering
In the case of running more than two queries, the operations are always performed in direction from top query to bottom one.
Additionally the order of performing operations may be modified manually by simply moving the query field up or down the search box. This option is available for all the queries except for the first listed and can be performed with the use of the pointer which appears when hovering over the spaces between the subsequent query fields.
Remarks on empty queries
In case of empty query, the query is not taken into account when performing the advanced search.
