In this post we will discuss about various search syntax supported by SharePoint 2013 for building search queries. Also you can check out my previous posts on:
- Installing or Uninstalling Features in SharePoint 2013
- Retrieve all SharePoint list in SharePoint 2013 client object model
- Create visual webpart in SharePoint 2013
SharePoint 2013 supports 2 types of languages syntax to build search queries:
- Keyword Query Language (KQL)
- FAST Query Language (FQL)
Keyword Query Language (KQL):
- This is the default language to build search queries.
- By using KQL, you specify the search terms or property restrictions that are passed
to the SharePoint search service. For more information you can check here.
- Also you can check some enhancements in Keyword Query Language.
FAST Query Language (FQL):
- FQL is a structured query language that supports advanced query operators.
- You can use FQL when you want to create complex queries that you want to pass programmatically to the SharePoint search service.
- FQL isn't intended to be exposed to end users, and is disabled by default.
