is an escape character and then you can put a special character like (

etc. in double quotes.COP_WORD_STARTSWITH
$<
, so any word (separated by spaces , - _ () []
and more) that starts with your search term. Other non-string properties (Dates, etc.) search with COP_EQUAL
=
, or exact matches by default (No wild cards, *
and ?
are literal). *
and ?
behave unpredicatbly in AQS unless they are in a ~
COP_DOSWILDCARDS
query (meaning the non-word starts with, and wild cards *
or ?
are interpreted). Windows search will usually convert searches to a ~
query. For example, it seems wild cards **
and ?
with alphanumeric characters search string properties with ~
, but **
without alphanumerics searches nothing. Also single *
in non ~
queries are treated as a wildcard with COP_WORD_STARTSWITH
