+Acts as the AND operator. This is the default operator between terms and can usually be omitted.
|Acts as the OR operator.
*When used at the end of a term, signifies a prefix query.
"Wraps several terms into a phrase (for example, "star wars").
(, )Wrap a clause for precedence (for example, star + (wars | trek)).
