Search Guide

Master SearchifyEngine's powerful search features to find exactly what you're looking for.

OR Operator

Use OR (in capitals) between terms to find results containing either term. This is useful for searching alternative terms or synonyms.

Examples:
react OR angular

Finds articles about either React or Angular

"ci/cd" OR "continuous integration"

Finds articles about CI/CD using either terminology

Exclusion with Minus (-)

Use the minus sign (-) before a term to exclude results containing that term. This helps filter out unwanted topics.

Examples:
python -django

Finds Python articles that don't mention Django

serverless -aws

Finds serverless articles not specifically about AWS

Combining Operators

You can combine multiple search operators to create more specific queries.

Examples:
"design patterns" site:medium.com -java

Finds design patterns articles on Medium that don't mention Java

(golang OR rust) "performance optimization"

Finds performance optimization articles specifically about Go or Rust
