Queries
To search with Nutch, just type in a few words.
- Results only include pages that contain all of the query words.
- Use quotes around words that must occur adjacently, as a phrase, e.g., "New Zealand".
- Punctuation between words also triggers phrase matching. So searching for http://www.apache.org/ is the same as searching for "http www apache org".
- Searches are not case-sensitive, so searching for NuTcH is the same as searching for nUtCh.
- You can prohibit a term from resulting pages by putting a minus before it, e.g., searching for football -nfl will find pages that discuss football, but don't use the word "nfl".
- That's it!

Each matching page in the results has the following links:
- (cached) displays the version of the page that Nutch downloaded.
