Start a search by entering space-separated search tokens in the search edit box, and press ENTER. The search tokens are case insensitive and follow an AND logic, that is, token1 AND token2 AND, and so on. Use single or double quotes to create queries that include spaces and quotes. End the search by clicking the ‘x’ to the right of the search box, or by pressing ESC.
