Queries

To search with JobSpin, just type in a few words.
  • Results only include pages that contain all of the query words.
  • Use quotes around words that must occur adjacently, as a phrase, e.g., "Web Developer".
  • Punctuation between words also triggers phrase matching. So searching for http://www.apache.org/ is the same as searching for "http www apache org".
  • Searches are not case-sensitive, so searching for WeB DeVeLoPeR is the same as searching for wEb dEvElOpEr.
  • You can prohibit a term from resulting pages by putting a minus before it, e.g., searching for football -nfl will find pages that discuss football, but don't use the word "nfl".
  • That's it!

Results

Each matching page in the results has the following links:
  • (cached) displays the version of the page that JobSpin downloaded.
  • (explain) displays an explanation of how this page scored.
  • (anchors) shows the list of incoming anchors indexed for this page.
