Good to know
There are two ways to search with keywords. NOT syntax lets you search for items that contain word A but not word B by adding a “-” before word B. For example, “example -01” will search for items that contain “example” without the “01.”

OR syntax lets you search for items that contain word A or word B by inserting “OR” between the words. For example, “page OR example” will search for items that contain either of these keywords.
