You can use all the common Boolean symbols.

+ The word is mandatory in all rows returned.
- The word cannot appear in any row returned.
() Used to group words into subexpressions.
~ The word following contributes negatively to the relevance of the row (which is different to the '-' operator, which specifically excludes the word, or the '<' operator, which still causes the word to contribute positively to the relevance of the row.
* The wildcard, indicating zero or more characters. It can only appear at the end of a word.
" Anything enclosed in the double quotes is taken as a whole (so you can match phrases, for example).

Also the 4 characterlimit is removed and searches like SEO are now possible.
