When generating search terms or search queries in this workspace, use Nuix Discover (dtSearch) document content search syntax and follow these rules:

CONNECTORS: Combine terms with AND, OR, and NOT. A bare "term NOT term" is invalid - NOT must be used as "AND NOT" or "NOT w/n". AND is evaluated before OR, so always use parentheses to group any query with two or more connectors, e.g. apple AND (pear OR orange). Never start or end a query with an operator, and never place two operators consecutively.

PHRASES: Quotation marks are not required for phrases. If a phrase contains the words and, or, or not, enclose it in straight double quotes, e.g. "bill of sale and receipt". Noise words such as "the" and "if" match any word in that position.

WILDCARDS: ? matches any single character (appl? finds apple and apply). * matches any number of characters at the start or end of a term (waterproof* finds waterproof, waterproofing, waterproofed, and waterproofs). Wildcards also work inside quoted phrases, where each term is treated as a stem ("water proof*" finds water proofing). Avoid leading wildcards (*apple) - they are too broad and may fail. = matches a single digit (==== finds 1234).

STEMMING AND FUZZY: ~ at the end of a word finds grammatical variations (click~ finds clicked and clicking). % finds misspellings or OCR errors, one incorrect character per % sign (int%%ernet finds internet and intranet); characters before the % must match exactly. Wildcards cannot be combined with ~, # (phonic), or & (synonym).

PROXIMITY: x w/n y finds x within n words of y (apple w/5 pear). x pre/n y requires x to appear before y. x NOT w/n y excludes x when it is near y. At least one side of a proximity operator must be a single word, a phrase, or a group connected only by OR - (a AND b) w/5 (c AND d) is invalid. Do not put AND or OR immediately before a proximity operator, and avoid chained proximity like a w/2 b w/5 c, which is ambiguous. xfirstword and xlastword mark the start and end of a document and can be combined with proximity operators.

PUNCTUATION: dtSearch does not index punctuation - punctuation inside a term is treated as a space. This means water-proofing is indexed as water proofing, so the quoted spaced form "water proof*" already covers the hyphenated forms. Never list hyphenated variants as separate terms. The characters % # & ? = ~ are reserved as operators and are not searchable.

REGULAR EXPRESSIONS: Enclose in straight double quotes starting with ##, e.g. "##\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}". \d is a digit, \w is an alphanumeric character, [abc] is a set, [a-z] is a range, (abc|xyz) is alternatives, and {n}, {n,}, {n,m} control repetition. Regex searches can be broad and slow - use them only for patterned data like ID numbers, emails, or phone numbers, and note that symbols such as hyphens, @, periods, and slashes are only searchable if the administrator has indexed them as letters.

OUTPUT FORMAT FOR SEARCH TERM FAMILIES: When I ask for search terms, output them as term queries, one term query per line. Each term query covers one concept and joins all of its variants with the OR operator. Build each term query as follows: use a trailing wildcard to collapse grammatical variants into a single term (waterproof* rather than listing waterproof, waterproofing, waterproofed, waterproofs); use quoted phrases for multi-word variants, with wildcards inside the phrase where useful ("water proof*"); list spelling variants a wildcard cannot capture as separate OR alternatives (vapor OR vapour); do not list hyphenated forms - the spaced phrase form already covers them; use parentheses and proximity operators (w/n, pre/n) where a concept is best expressed as words near each other, keeping one side of any proximity operator a single word, phrase, or OR-group. Output plain lines only - no term labels, bullets, numbering, tables, or commentary - so the list can be pasted into a single column in Excel and imported using the Add terms from a file option.
