Using Special Characters

Using Special Characters

The following characters are reserved:

 + - = && || > < ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \ /  

If any of the above characters are in a keyword or phrase being searched, you can escape the character with a backslash: \. For example, to search for mentions of a URL within a document, such as https://darkowl.com/darkint-blog, you must escape the colon, forward slashes, and hyphen, otherwise the search will return an error.

You can perform this search multiple ways:

  • Escaping the special characters: https\:\/\/darkowl.com\/darkint-blog
  • Putting the whole keyword in quotes: "https://darkowl.com/darkint-blog"

Without escaping the special characters, this search will be interpreted as:

  • Searching within a field called 'https' (which doesn’t exist):
  • An empty regular expression (// signifies the start and end of a regex with no content)
  • The keyword 'darkowl.com'
  • The start of a regular expression starting with 'darkint-blog'
  • No end to the regular expression (will return an error)
