List of possible search commands

Hi there,

I'm trying to find a list of all possible commands in a search query on the user side. Example would be the characters ( +, -, " " ) or the parameter( fileextension:cpp ) to filter results by .cpp file extension.

I found
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms582745.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms563261.aspx

I don't know if such a list exist. I found out about "fileextension" parameter by accident throuh these forums I believe. I wonder if there are other kind of parameters like that or wildcards.

Thanks!

There's not too many -- you mentioned a few. Then you've got the "restrictions" you can type into the search box such as:

site:http://portal/site1
filetype:docx
scope:scopename

Or you could specify a specific property like this:

city:"New York"

If you do two of the same type restrictions in the same query you'll get an OR effect, but if you do two different restrictions you'll get an AND between the two.
