// Boolean, enables the use of advanced search syntax, causing special treatment in the following circumstances:
// preceding a word with "+" will restrict the search to ONLY products that mention that word, preceding a
// word with "-" will restrict the search to exclude any products that mention that word, and the keyword "
// OR " can be used to perform multiple simultaneous searches (in place of OR you can use the pipe character "|"
// to separate multiple search terms).
