Advanced Search
Typing in a search term in the sidebar, for the most part, works the way you expect.
However, if you want more control and flexibility over your search, you can use advanced search. This capability is offered by the search library we use (Fuse.js).
The following is adapted from their documentation. This syntax is subject to change as we make it better and more intuitive to use over time.
