Rules for Entering Search String

The enhanced EzPartsWeb search engine allows you to type in strings in the web-like manner, which shortens the time of entering and makes the search process faster.

The following characters are treated as special ones:

"	Double quotation mark character. It is used to search for a separate word in the string.
|	Vertical bar character. It is used as the OR conditional operator.
&	Ampersand character. It is used as the AND conditional operator.
[ ... ]	Square brackets characters. They are used to specify the priority of logical operation.

Please, see how the search engine will return the results depending on the entered value:

Search Query	Results
Bolt	will return the results, which contain Bolt in the text.
%Bolt	will return the results, which contain Bolt at the end of the text.
Bolt%	will return the results, which contain Bolt at the beginning of the text.
%Bolt%	will return the results equal to the search query, i.e. it will find parts or resources, which contain Bolt in the text.
Bolt Shoulder	will return the results, which contain Bolt and Shoulder in the text.
Bolt & Shoulder, Bolt&Shoulder	will return the results, which contain Bolt and Shoulder in the text.
Bolt | Shoulder, Bolt|Shoulder	will return the results, which contain either Bolt, Shoulder or Bolt and Shoulder.
"Bolt"	will return the results, which contain Bolt as a separate word.

You can use complex search query to get better results:

Search Query	Results
"bolt" & 49 or "BOLT" & 49	will return the results, which contain the word bolt and number 49 in the text.
150% | "150%"	will return the results, which start from 150 or contain 150% between spaces.
150 | [bolt & shoulder]	will return the results, which contain 150 or bolt and shoulder in the text.

Notes on Rules for Entering Search String

• Before searching for needed parts and resources, please, note that the search is case insensitive, which means that abc, ABC and Abc are identical.



• An error message will be shown in the following cases:



• if odd number of the " symbol is used;
• if the & or/and | symbols are typed right after another, without spaces (e.g., |&);
• if only one operand is entered and & or | operators are used (e.g., abc &).
