More information on how to combine search terms

Combining search terms

You can combine as many search terms as you wish to narrow down your search. Terms may include, skills and/or geographical locations.

Use 'and' and '+' to combine search terms. (These operators can be used in slightly different ways to achieve different results, e.g. using 'and' where two or more search terms must feature in the results or '+' where one term is optional but another term must appear.)

Using the operator 'and' means terms both left and right of the 'and' operator must be included in the search results.

Using '+' directly before a search term means that term must be included in the search results.

Examples
'PHP and Sussex' - Both PHP and Sussex must feature in the results.
'+PHP +Sussex' - Both PHP and Sussex must feature in the results.
(please note no space should appear between the + symbol and the term you are referring to).
'PHP +Sussex' - Sussex must appear in the results, but PHP is optional.

Omitting search terms

You can omit search terms by using 'not' or '-' symbol. They work in exactly the same way as each other except that no space should appear between the - symbol and the term you are referring to.

So entering 'manager +java not London' will give you same results as 'manager +java -London'. This search will return jobs that are about Java, not within London and may optionally also have the term "manager".

Tags/Keywords

Our innovative and custom-written search engine places an importance upon tags chosen to be representative of the content, however it also indexes all content to provide you with the most relevant results

Please note that the Quick Search operates as Boolean search, so you can narrow your search by including operators such as "and" if more than one term is required to feature in the results. "+" will also work in the same way. I.e. "php and mysql london" is the same as "+php +mysql london".

The operator "or" does not need to be included as this is the default, i.e. "php or mysql or london" is the same as "php mysql london". You can also use "not" or - to exclude terms.
