[/search/advanced Advanced Search] is a feature to find content using complex filters and queries that aren't available by default when searching for help with Mozilla products.
=Search Syntax=
Advanced Search queries use the following syntax:
* <code>+</code> signifies AND operation
* <code>|</code> signifies OR operation
* <code>-</code> negates a single token
* <code>"</code> wraps a number of tokens to signify a phrase for searching
* <code>*</code> at the end of a term signifies a prefix query
* <code>(</code> and <code>)</code> signify precedence
Examples:
* <code>crash</code> - searches for responses with the word "crash"
* <code>crash + -sync</code> - searches for responses with the word "crash" excluding results with the word "sync"
* <code>crash + sync</code> - searches for responses with both "crash" and "sync"
* <code>"norton antivirus" crash</code> - searches for responses with the phrase "norton antivirus" and the word "crash"
