Advanced search behavior is intended to support complex, precise queries. Therefore it generally does not employ the automatic broadening features of basic search, such as broad cross-field searching or automatic spell correction. Stemming, however, is applied in advanced search.

The Text Search portion of advanced search will search across name, description and full text content. Additional property criteria are applied only to the fields specifically selected in each criterion.

User queries that cause syntax errors in Internet Style mode or Query Operators mode will display an error message in the user interface; the search will not fall back to Bag of Words mode.
