▶️ Search Operators and Power Commands on Newsdesk

The Boolean Query on Nexis Newsdesk^® allows you to use Search Operators that are broken down into simple search, advanced search, and power commands. You can also find information on how to use wildcards, symbols, and special characters in conjunction with search operators.  

Here are a couple of simple examples:

• California AND ("San Francisco" OR Oakland)
• Nottingham AND (England OR "East Midlands") NOT (Leicester OR Derby)

Simple Search Operators 

Simple Search operators are used to define the relationship between your search terms. Simple Search Operators consist of AND, OR, NOT, and Parentheses. 

The system reads the terms left to right. Nexis Newsdesk supports using parentheses/brackets to group clauses to form sub queries. This can be very useful if you want to control the Boolean logic for a query.
 

Simple Search Operator	Description	Additional Information
AND	Use AND to require that all your search terms be in your results.  For example: St Petersburg" AND Russia	You must enter the AND operator in all caps. If not, it will be read as a search term.  & and AND are not equivalents, the & is treated as a space
OR	Use OR to find one or more of your search terms in your results. For example: "New Delhi" OR Toronto	You must enter the OR operator in all caps. If not, it will be read as a search term.  A space is treated as an OR operator.  & is treated as a space unless in quotes.
NOT	Use the NOT operator to exclude terms from your results. For example: Europe NOT "United Kingdom"	The NOT and NEAR operators may be used together. For example: "Maritime Administration" NOT ("Maritime Administration" NEAR/5 ("Panama Maritime Administration" OR “Nigerian Maritime Administration”)) You must enter the NOT operator in all caps. If not, it will be read as a search term.
Parentheses	Use Parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries.  For example: California AND ("San Francisco" OR Oakland)	Allows you to group terms together when performing a Boolean search.

Symbols and Special Characters 

For more information, see How Special Characters are Read in Newsdesk. 
 

Symbol / Special Character	Description	Additional Information
Quotation Marks	Use quotation marks (" ") to look for an exact phrase. For example: "human rights"	Spaces are read as an OR operator which makes quotation marks particularly important.
Boosting a term  ^n	Use the boosting a term ( ^n ) to give a search term a higher weighting and boost its importance in the search.  For example: Africa^2 OR Asia	Enter number between 1 and 100 (the higher the number the more relevant the term will be) Articles that have the greatest mentions of the boosted search term will appear at the top of the result list. Only works with Relevancy ordered search results or the Relevancy Slider which can be found in the Refine Panel.

Wildcards 

Wildcard	Description	Additional Information
Question Mark ?	Use the question mark ( ? ) to replace a single character in a word.  For example, to find Brazil or Brasil, use: Bra?il	Cannot use as the first character of a search term. Use the ? at the end of a word to find both the singular and plural versions of terms ending with s, i.e., dog? finds both dog and dogs. You can use inside of quotation marks. Using too many wildcards can return 0 results, whenever possible search terms should be spelled out.
Asterisk *	Use the asterisk ( * ) to find multiple characters in the middle of a term or to enable stemming of a search term. For example, to find acquire or acquisition or acquiring, use: Acqui*	You cannot use as the first character of a search term. You can use * inside of quotation marks.

Advanced Search Operators 

The Advanced Search operators provide the ability to drill further down into the specifics of an article to create highly specific and targeted searches by using Search Operators. Advanced Search Operators consists of START/n, NEAR/n, and MULTIPLE/n.
 

Advanced Search Operator	Description	Additional Information
START/n	Use START/n to find articles where your search terms appear in the headline or within the first specified number of words within the article body.  For example: START/100:(Argentina OR xx)	You must enter the START operator in all caps. If not, it ignores the START operator. The START/n operator requires all search terms to be contained in parentheses.
NEAR/n	Use NEAR/n to find articles where the first term appears within a specified number of words of the second term.  For example: dog NEAR/5 cat	You must enter the NEAR operator in all caps. If not, it ignores the NEAR operator. The NEAR operator finds articles where the keywords appear in the title or appear in the body. The NEAR operator does not cross the title and the body of an article.  The NEAR and NOT operators may be used together. For example: "Maritime Administration" NOT ("Maritime Administration" NEAR/5 ("Panama Maritime Administration" OR “Nigerian Maritime Administration”)) The NEAR command does not work in conjunction with the START command.   Parentheses are needed around search terms when using multiple OR operators with the NEAR/n operator.  For example: (Japan OR Tokyo OR Osaka) NEAR/10 (China OR Beijing OR "Hong Kong") When using the NEAR command, and a Power Command, the Power Command must proceed each search term. You cannot use the NEAR operator within the Power Command. For example: authorContains:john NEAR/3 authorContains:bacon For example: title:bmw NEAR/5 title:electric The NEAR/n operator does not support looking for one mention of a word near another mention of the exact same word.  For example: (cube) NEAR/10 (cube)
~n	Use the tilde ( ~n ) to find articles where keyword occurrences are within a specified distance of each other. For example: "john kennedy" ~2  This search finds ‘John Kennedy’, ‘John F Kennedy’ and ‘John Fitzgerald Kennedy’.	Use the proximity command tilde followed by a number, ~n, to find articles where search term occurrences are within a specified distance of each other. The tilde requires all words within quotes to be within the specified number of words of each other. You cannot use quotation marks inside the initial quotation marks. Therefore, if you need to search a phrase use the NEAR search operator instead. The tilde command works much like the NEAR/n command.  An important difference is that when using the ~n command, and a Power Command such as title or authorContains, the Power Command does not precede each side of the ~n operator.  This feature streamlines entering searches. For example: author:"john bacon" ~3 For example: title:"bmw electric" ~5 You can use wildcards (? and *) inside quotation marks. For example: "Florid* congress*"~10 For example: “Bra?il soccer”~8
PRE/n	Use PRE/n to specify the order of your keywords. i.e. one keyword appears before another. For example: Tim PRE/10 Cook	You must enter the PRE operator in all caps. If not, it ignores the PRE operator. Parentheses are needed around search terms when using multiple OR operators with the PRE/n operator.
MULTIPLE/n	Use MULTIPLE/n to specify the minimum number of occurrences of your search term.   For example: MULTIPLE/3:(Greece)	You must enter the MULTIPLE operator in all caps. If not, it will be read as a search term. Parenthesis are required for this search operator. Searches the article body Does not search the headline Enter any number between 2 and 10

Power Commands 

Power commands allow you to search specific sections of an article and to help you create a more precise search. 

• All power commands are case sensitive.
• Do not use spaces in between the power command and search terms. If there are spaces, the power command will be read as a search term.
• All search operators, including power commands, available in Newsdesk are also available for Metabase Search customers.  Most but not all operators are available for Metabase Filters customers, who should consult the help documentation in Metabase Portal for available search functions.

 

 

Power Command	Description	Additional Information
accessStatus:	Use accessStatus: to search the subscription status of a source. For example, to search for articles that require a free registration to view content, use: accessStatus:reg	For example, to search for articles that allow you to view a undetermined number of articles before requiring a paid subscription, use accessStatus:prem For example, to search for articles that require a subscription for any content behind a paywall, use accessStatus:sub To find free articles that do not require a sign-in or have content behind a paywall, use: NOT accessStatus:(prem OR sub OR reg)
articleId:	Use articleId: to search for a specific article.  For example: articleId:37399147295
author:	Use author: to search for an exact match within the author or byline of the article.  For example: author:"john bacon"	Do not use the NEAR/n operator in this power command, if you need to use NEAR/n, utilize the authorContains power command. The content in the author field is searched only when using the author: or authorContains: command. A free text query does not search through these fields. author: is an equivalent to the byline: power command
authorContains:	Use authorContains: to search for partial names or variations within the author or byline of the article.  For example: authorContains:john NEAR/3 authorContains:bacon	Can use the NEAR/n operator in this power command The content in the author field is searched only when using the author: or authorContains: command. A free text query does not search through these fields.
broadcastMarketName:	Use broadcastMarketName: to search for TV/Radio video and transcripts from a certain broadcast market. For example: broadcastMarketName:("Los Angeles, CA (DMA 2)") OR broadcastMarketName:("Los Angeles (DMA 2)")	To find the broadcast market code for a certain area, search on a station in that area and view the Broadcast Market filter to locate the code.
category:	Use category: to search a category tag which helps with relevancy or when you need to focus on a particular topic. For example: category:"Costa Rica news"	All default categories run over English language content only. If you need to create a category in any language, contact your Account Manager.
categoryGroup:	Use categoryGroup to search all category tags within a specific grouping.  For example: categoryGroup:Industry	categoryGroup: is broader than category: categoryGroup: only applies to English language content.
company:	Use company: to search for a company. For example: company:"Apple Inc."
companyContains:	Use companyContains: to search for partial matches of a company name. For example: companyContains:Apple	The advantage is the ability to easily search for companies with somewhat ambiguous names without the need to write complex contextual Boolean (e.g., AND iPhone OR iPad OR iOS, etc.) and keep the search query fairly straightforward.
content:	Use content: to search the body of an article. For example: content:(Cairo OR Istanbul OR Tehran)	If you want to search the body and the title of articles, you must add title to the search. For example: content:(Cairo OR Istanbul OR Tehran) AND title:(Cairo OR Istanbul OR Tehran)
contentASCS:	Use contentASCS: to search for accent and case-sensitive keywords within the body of an article. For example: contentASCS:"Cañon City"
contentCS:	Use contentCS: to search for case-sensitive keywords within the body of an article. For example: contentCS:Wellington	The example illustrates how a user may want articles about the Wellington the city rather than wellington boots.
contentLocationCountry:	Use contentLocationCountry: to find articles where a particular country or a location within that country is mentioned.  For example: contentLocationCountry:Mexico	Searching for Mexico would include articles that refer to Tijuana but not explicitly to Mexico.
contentLocationName:	Use contentLocationName: to find articles where a specific location is mentioned.  For example: contentLocationName:Farringdon	If you to find articles about Birmingham in the United States and not Birmingham in the UK, use the following: contentLocationName:Birmingham AND contentLocationName:Alabama
contentLocationProvince:	Use contentLocationProvince: to find articles where a particular province, state or county is mentioned or a location within a province, state or county is mentioned.  For example: contentLocationProvince:Hawaii	Searching for Hawaii would include articles that mention locations in Hawaii such as Honolulu or Maui.

contentLocationSubregion:	Use contentLocationSubregion: to find articles where a particular subregion such as Northern America or Eastern Asia or a location within a subregion is mentioned. For example: contentLocationSubregion:“South-Eastern Asia”
engagement:[   ]	Use engagement: to find content with a specific level of buzz or virality.  For example: engagement:[100 TO *]	Brackets are required for this search operator. Only works with Twitter.
feedClass:	Use feedClass: to indicate which types of media to search across, such as News or Print.   For example: feedClass:(News OR Print)	Ensure the relevant media has been selected in the bar above the search box.
feedId:	Use feedId: to search through a specific feed, instead of entering the feed name. For example: feedId:665440193
harvestDate:	Use harvestDate: to search date and time. For LexisNexis Licensed articles, the date and time the article was first sent from LexisNexis to Nexis Newsdesk. It is not adjusted to the user's time zone. For content harvested (scraped from web), the date and time the article was scraped, adjusted to the user's time zone chosen in settings. This can be useful if you have a particularly granular timeframe, it allows control down to the nearest second in the search results.  For example, to specify a time or date range within a search, use: harvestDate:[yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ TO yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ]   For example: harvestDate:[2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z]	Note: Make sure your selected date range falls into a timeframe supported by your content subscription.  Time Zone Settings effect the harvestDate power command: Time zones are set by the user on Newsdesk by taking the following steps: Click your name in the upper right corner. Click Settings. Click on the drop-down next to User Time Zone and select your setting. Note: UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time and is the same thing as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). harvestDate for LexisNexis Licensed articles: The harvestDate for LexisNexis Licensed articles is not adjusted to the user's time zone. If the time is not provided, then the Harvest Date is set to 12:00PM. For example: harvestDate:[2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z] (11 AM -1 PM) will pick up any LexisNexis Licensed articles with displaying the date and time between 2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z (11 AM -1 PM). harvestDate for content harvested (scraped from web): The harvestDate for content harvested (scraped from web) is adjusted to the user's time zone chosen in their settings. For example: harvestDate:[2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z] (11 AM -1 PM) will pick up any article displaying the date and time in that users time zone setting corresponding to between 2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z (11 AM -1 PM). Therefore, if the user's time zone is set to (UTC 0:500) US/Eastern, the articles returned would display the times 5 hours before 2021-10-04T11:00:00Z TO 2021-10-04T13:00:00Z, which corresponds to 6 AM – 8 AM.

However, as most LexisNexis licensed articles are generally only sent once, most LexisNexis Licensed content articles will not have this field. See harvestDate: for more details on searching by date and time in Newsdesk.
userMention:	Use userMention: to limit your results list to content, specifically Tweets, that mention a certain user or users. For example: userMention:UN	The userMention: search field is useful for those with a keen interest in monitoring Twitter content as it allows you to isolate all content directed at a particular account, which can be useful for tracking conversations and mention of your brands.
wordCount:[  ]	Use wordCount: to search the number of words contained within an article.  For example, to find articles that have exactly 500 words, use: wordCount:500  For example, to find articles that have more than 500 words, use: wordCount:[500 TO *]	Newsdesk only displays approximately the first 6,000 words of a document. Therefore, if your search terms appear after the first 6,000 words the document is retrieved however you will not see your search terms.  If you want to exclude articles that have more than 6,000 words, use: NOT wordCount:[6000 TO *] wordcount: is an equivalent to the length: [  ] power command
