Using the CheckboxesYou can focus your search using the checkboxes on the search forms. SmartSearch Sources limit your search to a specific web site or category of pages within a single web site. SmartSearch Topics allow you to select topics of interest, and the search will find all matches using related keywords to your selected topic.If you do not select any checkboxes the search assumes that all checkboxes are selected which means that your search is not focused to any source or topic. Once you select one or more checkboxes, the search will focus your search using only the selected checkboxes. Advanced Search LanguageYou can create your own advanced query using the language described below.Boolean logic, wildcards, and zone searching allow you to compose refined queries : Boolean LogicAND - Finds only pages which contain all search terms. Example: pci AND xc5000
OR - Finds pages which contain any one of the search terms. Example: pinout OR footprint
ACCRUE (,) (smart OR) - Finds pages which contain either search term. Documents with both at the top of the results list. Example: CLB ACCRUE TBUF
NOT (modifier)- Use with the AND operator to exclude terms from your search. Example: linkswitch AND <NOT> press release
Wildcards* - Matches any number of characters.Example: XC31* (find all XC3100 device family references)
