(NOT), but the search engine allows the use of parentheses to determine priority in hierarchically arranged search text. In addition, the embedded "near search" (~) function, an advanced version of the AND operator, takes a keyword entered by users and performs searches using sentences as the query target, greatly increasing the precision of the data searches.
