Use query language  

Instructions

This is a search engine and directory dedicated to the I Ching. The indexer only crawls the links that are added to the database. Only I Ching-related links are going to be added to it. Hence, all searches you do here will have I Ching content. You don't have to put "I Ching" in the search field, unless you want to make sure those words appear. You may then miss out on pages that used "zhouyi" or "Book of Changes" or "Yijing" to refer to the I, so in this case, less is more.

If you check off the box that says "Use query language," you can then use boolean language in the search field. These are the supported terms:

+ sign in front of word or phrase This forces a word to be included in the results
- sign in front of word or phrase This eliminates any site with this content from the results
" " - quote marks around a phrase This forces the string of words to be treated as an exact phrase, and results must include these particular words in this order
a gap between words (without + or - , or quote marks around a phrase) Spaces between words are treated as "or". If you did a search that said
[ coins yarrow ]
your results would include sites that had either the word coins, or yarrow, or both.


You don't have to be the owner of a site to add it to the directory. Addition of links is greatly appreciated. However, asking me to add links that are not related to the I Ching is not appreciated. This site was created to facilitate I Ching research. A lot of work has gone into it, and it was all done to make I Ching research easier.

If you think I need more or different categories in the directory, please email me and let me know.
