Extended Search

This form of advanced searching allows you to fine-tune results.

=scheme	exact-match	Items that are scheme
'python	include-match	Items that include python
!ruby	inverse-exact-match	Items that do not include ruby

!^earlang	inverse-prefix-exact-match	Items that do not start with earlang
.js$	suffix-exact-match	Items that end with .js
