You combine modifiers with operators to change the standard behavior of an operator in some way. The following table describes the available modifiers:
Modifier | Description | Example |

<CASE>Java OR <CASE>java retrieves documents that contain Java or java, but not JAVA. |
MANY |
Counts the density of words, stemmed variations, or phrases in a document and produces a relevance-ranked score for retrieved documents. Use with the following operators:
|
<PARAGRAPH><MANY>javascript <AND> vbscript. You cannot use the MANY modifier with the following operators:

NOT |
Excludes documents that contain the specified word or phrase. Use only with the AND and OR operators. |
Java <AND> programming <NOT> coffee retrieves documents that contain Java and programming, but not coffee. |
ORDER |
Specifies that the search elements must occur in the same order in which you specify them in the query. Use with the following operators:
Place the ORDER modifier before any operator. |
