If your new to free text searching, you might want to go away and have a play at this point, and come back when you have some questions. The basic unit of a Sino search is the word . A word is any continuous sequence of alphanumeric characters.
Words are case insensitive.
All words are searchable other than a relatively small list of common words which is specified for each database. The pattern must match an entire word. The left square bracket symbol is also used for boolean grouping. As far as is consistent, Sino also supports regular expressions. Care should be taken when applying pattern matching to ensure that patterns are not ridiculously wild.
