GDSearch - Google Desktop Search Plug-in for Eclipse - Search Help
Phrase search
If you enclose all or part of your query in quotation marks, Desktop will only
return items that contain that exact quoted phrase. For example, if your query
is ["Copyright 2005"], Desktop only returns items containing exactly that
phrase. An item containing that phrase's words only in the sentence "In 2005,
I filed for copyright" will not be returned.
"-" search
When put directly in front of a word, the - operator causes searches to
not return items that contain that word. For example, results for the
search [bats -baseball] would include all items in the Desktop cache that
contain the word "bats," except for the items that also contain the word
"baseball".
"site:" search
If you include the site: operator in your query, Desktop will only return
results from the website you specify. For instance, a Desktop query of [help
site:www.google.com] will return only pages you've seen from www.google.com
that contain the word "help". Note there can be no space between the "site:"
operator and the domain you specify.
"filetype:" search
You can restrict what type of files Desktop returns via the filetype:
operator and an argument of either a file type extension or the full name of an
Office application. For instance, if you search for [tax filetype:xls] or
[tax filetype:excel], your search results will include only Excel files
containing the word "tax". If you search for [filetype:abc], your results
will include only files that have a .abc file extension. As with the site:
operator, do not put any spaces between filetype: and its extension
or type argument.
GDSearch uses this automatically if you select to limit the search to a certain file extension.
