FoxTrot Query Syntax

A FoxTrot query is composed of one or more words. Uppercase, lowercase and accents are ignored. The punctuation is ignored, except in the following cases:

You can combine several special characters in the same query. Here are a few examples:

Asian text: chinese, japanese and korean text is searched as an exact sequence of characters, unless if it contains some spaces (or other punctuation characters) to delimit groups of characters. For example, searching 田中です will only find this exact string, but searching 田中 です will also find 田中はこの人です.

Symbols and emojis: symbol characters (e.g. #, %, &, @, §, ¶, $, €, ₿, ©, °, ±, ×, ℀, ™, ℘, ↖, ↠, ⇋, ∂, ⌀ etc) and emojis are searched as independent words. You may also search them using a quoted string, for example to find a "#hashtag" or a "@mention". Note that some emojis use multiple unicode characters to encode a single image, and thus you may need to use a quoted string to find an exact extended emoji (e.g. searching for 👩🏽‍🦱 does not give the same result than "👩🏽‍🦱").
