Newb query question

[Daniel Baughman <da...@hostworks.com>]

Is there a way to perform string logic on the key field using a subquery or
some other method.

 

IE. If the left 4 characters of the key are ABCD, then include or exclude
those from the search.

 

Here is the "laymans" pseudo code for what I'm wanting to do:

 

*:* AND LEFT(KEY, 4) <> 'abcd'

 

Anyone know that one?

How about something like:

for exclusion
+*:* -KEY:abcd*

for inclusion
+*:* +KEY:abcd*

Best

Hi,

It sounds like if you put those 4 chars in a separate field at index time you 
could apply your logic on that at search time.
