Scholar search

After changing a lot of the internals, Scholar’s content is now fully searchable (as is the other posts on this site). There are a number of operators that are available:

• Search for a phrase by enclosing it in quotation marks, e.g. quantum information
• Search for words near each other with the keyword NEAR, e.g. quantum NEAR operation
• Use Boolean operators with AND, OR, and NOT. Group with brackets as usual.
• Search on a prefix using *: e.g. operat*
• Search within particular fields using <field>:<query>, e.g. level:1.

By default all fields are searched unless you restrict to a given field using the field query. The fields that are available are

• type: One of article, post, thread, or exercise
• level: the year-level of the article
• label: the labels attached to blog posts
• subject: the subject and article or exercise belongs to
• keywords: subject keywords for the article
• duration: the duration indicator for an article
• title: the articles title
• author: the articles author
• body: the body of the article of post
• abstract: the abstract of the article of post
