Search rules
Looking for something specific? The Kaltura search engine checks your search term against various category details, like the category name, ID, tags, description, reference ID, and even any custom data fields set as searchable. Here's how it works:
- Search criteria can include alphanumeric as well as special characters such as: `, ~, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), -, _, =, +, [, ], {, }, ;, :, ', , |, /, ?, <, >
- A space is treated as an AND search value. For example, searching for "hello world” will result in all entries that include both the word hello and the word world in one of the searchable category attributes.
- A comma is treated as an OR search value. Searching "hello, world" finds entries with either "hello" or "world."
- An exclamation mark (!) is treated as an AND NOT search value. Searching "hello ! world" finds entries with "hello" but without "world." Remember, the ! at the beginning isn't supported, and if you're looking for words starting or ending with !, put a backslash in front of it (\!).
- Double quotes (" ") are treated as an EXACT MATCH search value. Searching "hello world" finds categories with the exact "hello world" phrase.
- When the number of search words is greater than two:
- All words searched must appear in the results (in any order)
- Demonstrative words such as this/that/… and prepositions are ignored
