Query Algebra

There are multiple query rules you can use to build up any desired condition. Based on this algebra of rules, the search will decide if the query is matching - and thus triggering some action - or not.

Following are a few examples of the query rules algebra to learn about various types and their usage.

The query always matches.

The query never matches.

Query matches if it contains field query on manufacturerName. e.g.: “tshirt && manufacturerName:hugoboss”

Query matches if it contains field siteId with a precise value of “1234”. e.g.: “tshirt && siteId:1234”

Query matches if there is the term “iphone” in any place. e.g.: “name:iphone”

Query matches if there is term “iphone”, but only when specified without the field name. e.g.: “iphone || name: mac”

Query matches if there is the term “iphone” in either manufacturerName or name fields. e.g.: “mac || name: iphone”

Query matches if part of the query term, in any field, is a “computer”. e.g.: “bestcomputer”

Query matches if part of a query term is a “computer”, but only for terms without fields specified.

Query matches if part of a query term is a “computer”, but only for fields manufacturerName and name.

Query matches if it doesn’t contain the value “tshirt” in any of its fields. e.g.: “tshirts”. e.g.: “computer“

Query matches if it has the term “iphone” in any field or if part of the query contains “apple”.

Query matches if it has the term “iphone” in any field and if the manufacturerName query contains “apple”.
