Shortcuts for Search Commands

Just a little tip for those who might be interested.

 

Entering search commands in iOS can be a bit tedious. To make entering search commands a bit easier you can setup global shortcuts for them.

 

For example: When I type "aa" the search command "<AND>" is entered for me or "ww" enters "<WITHIN 5 Words>".

 

You can customize your shortcuts in the Settings app by navigating to General > Keyboard > Shortcuts

There is, of course, a menu with the commands, but these shortcuts will save time for some people.

Thanks, circuitrider!

 

It's nice to know the iOS Shortcuts feature even works in our Search Entry box.

 

Oh, if you decide to take advantage of this tip, be sure to use all caps for the search commands and enclose them in the appropriate brackets, e.g. <AND> or [RANGE ?].
