Search syntax
Search in Aha! Roadmaps supports the following syntax. Use these options to help optimize your search.
Prefix search
Appending an asterisk (*) to a word will search for all words that include the prefix. This allows for distinguishing between exact match versus prefix match results.
For example:
Query | Result |
author* | Records containing "author," "authorize," "authorization," "authority," etc. |
APP-12 | Records that match APP-12 only, and not "APP-121," "APP-122," "APP-1231," etc. |
Combining words
Boolean operators for combining words allow you more control over the outcome of the search results. Boolean operators include AND, OR, and NOT and can be combined with parentheses.
For example:
Query | Result |
dashboard OR report | Records containing a reference to either "dashboard" or "report" |
dashboard AND report | Records containing a reference to both "dashboard" and "report" |
dashboard NOT report | Records containing a reference "dashboard" but do not contain "report" |
(dashboard OR report) editor | Records containing a reference to either "dashboard" or "report," but must also contain a reference to "editor" |
Boolean operators must be in all capital letters.
User mentions
Use @mentions in your search queries to include Aha! Roadmaps users.
For example:
Query | Result |
@fred | Records where Fred is the user's name |
Phrase queries
Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase match.
For example:
