<p><b>Phrases and Proximity searches.&nbsp;</b>A phrase
can be looked for by enclosing it in double quotes.
<p><b>Phrases searches.&nbsp;</b>A phrase can be looked
for by enclosing a number of terms in double quotes.
Example: <code class="literal">"user manual"</code>
will look only for occurrences of <code class=
"literal">user</code> immediately followed by
<code class="literal">manual</code>. You can use the
<span class="guilabel">This phrase</span> field of the
<span class="guilabel">"Phrase"</span> field of the
advanced search dialog to the same effect. Phrases can
be entered along simple terms in all simple or advanced
search entry fields (except <span class="guilabel">This
exact phrase</span>).</p>
search entry fields, except <span class=
"guilabel">"Phrase"</span>.</p>
<p><b>Proximity searches.&nbsp;</b>A proximity search
differs from a phrase search in that it does not impose
an order on the terms. Proximity searches can be
entered by specifying the <span class=
"guilabel">"Proximity"</span> type in the advanced
search, or by postfixing a phrase search with a 'p'.
Example: "user manual"p would also match "manual user".

"#RCL.SEARCH.LANG.MODIFIERS" title=
"3.5.2.&nbsp;Modifiers">the modifier section</a> from
the query language documentation.</p>
<p><b>AutoPhrases.&nbsp;</b>This option can be set in
the preferences dialog. If it is set, a phrase will be
automatically built and added to simple searches when

will not change radically the results, but will give a relevance
boost to the results where the search terms appear as a
phrase. Ie: searching for <literal>virtual reality</literal>
will still find all documents where either
<literal>virtual</literal> or <literal>reality</literal> or
both appear, but those which contain
<literal>virtual reality</literal> should appear sooner in the
