Below is a table which outlines the search syntax supported by the AAI site. By default, our web site will return only those pages containing every keyword searched. Therefore, searching for: Cessna SII will return the same results as searching for: +Cessna +SII.
| Single Keyword |
cessna |
Returns each page containing the keyword cessna |
| Multiple Keywords |
cessna SII |
Returns each page containing the keyword cessna AND the keyword SII anywhere within the document. Same as if you had typed: +logika +corporation (see Boolean) |
| Phrase |
"cessna SII" |
Returns each page containing the exact string in quotes, meaning only those pages where cessna is followed directly by SII. |
| Boolean |
+SII -cessna |
Returns each page based on the Boolean condition being met. A plus (+) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST exist on the page. A minus (-) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST NOT exist on the page. |
Wildcard (Partial Keywords) |
air* *craft *raft* |
Returns each page where a keyword exists that either starts with, ends with, or is contained within a particular term. Therefore, the first example would return any page containing keywords starting with air, such as aircraft, or air, or airframe. The second example would return any page containing keywords ending in craft such as aircraft, or beechcraft, or spacecraft. The third example would return any page containing keywords with raft within itself, such as aircrafts, or redrafting. |
