Welcome to the Search Syntax Tutorial! This guide will help you understand how to effectively use the search functionality on our site. Whether you're looking for tutorials, articles, or resources, mastering the search syntax can save you time and make your experience more efficient.
Basic Syntax
To start a search, simply type your query into the search bar. Here are some basic syntax elements you can use:
- Keywords: Use keywords that best describe what you're looking for. For example, searching for "JavaScript tutorial" will return results related to JavaScript tutorials.
- Quotation Marks: Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. For example, "How to install Node.js" will only return results with that exact phrase.
- AND/OR: Use "AND" or "OR" to combine or separate keywords. For example, "HTML AND CSS" will return results with both HTML and CSS, while "HTML OR CSS" will return results related to either HTML or CSS.
Advanced Syntax
For more advanced searches, you can use the following syntax elements:
- Parentheses: Use parentheses to group keywords together. For example, "CSS (flexbox OR grid)" will return results related to either flexbox or grid, but not both.
- Truncation: Use an asterisk () to search for variations of a word. For example, "dev" will return results with "developer", "development", "developmental", and other variations.
- Site-Specific Search: Use the "site:" operator to search within a specific website. For example, "site:/en/Tutorials" will return results only from the Tutorials section of our site.

Here are some example queries to get you started:
- Basic: "JavaScript tutorial"
