This fuSeQL Reference is helpful when using the FUSE Search API to write a query. "Series" refers to data stored in FUSE.
 
 Syntax
 Example
 Notes
 set=<field_name>
set=country
Finds series where the field is set (i.e. has a value). Useful in finding problematic series (e.g. not set:country would find series where the country is missing, which might be indicative of an issue).
 AND
Japan AND Weather
Requires both terms; this is the default operation when two terms are next to each other, so is always optional.
 OR
Japan OR Weather
Checks for the presence of either term.
 NOT
Japan AND NOT Weather
Negates the term immediately following.
 ( )
(Japan OR Weather) AND NOT Celsius
Enforces a specific order in expressions, standard logic use of the ( ).
 " "
"Japan Weather" OR "My Weather"
Finds text phrases. Note that this is required if the value to find includes spaces or any of the following characters: ~><*(),:=@.
 *
(Ja OR "South A")**** Weather
Finds values that start with Ja or South A, so it would find weather in Japan, Jamaica, South America, and South Africa. Note that for quoted terms, the ***** immediately follows the quotes.
 =
country=Japan OR country="South Africa"
Finds series that have exactly Japan or South Africa as the country. Note the usage of the quotes around South Africa because it has a space.
 =( )
country=(Japan,"South Africa")
Finds the exact same as above more conveniently. Values within the parenthesis, separated by commas cannot have spaces in between.
 :
country:South
Finds South anywhere in the country field. South Africa and South Korea would be found.
 sid: or _tree:
sid:jodi\primary or my_tree:my\category
 Finds series where the series id (sid) begins with jodi\primary or where values of the my_tree field begin with my\category
 <  > or =<  >=
forecast_date>2015-01-01 or some_num<=10
Finds based on a value range. Most frequently used with _num and _date fields.
 ( )^
 set:country OR (set:city)^10
Finds series where either the country or city are set, but boosts series where city is set by 10. The series where city is set shows up first.
 <optional_prefix>*:(<field value>)
 *:(gas) or p*:(gas)
Wildcard field searching. Searches ALL fields (with <optional_prefix>) for a particular value.

Returns any series where value is present in any field, not just default fields — default fields are defined/referenced in various places in the API documentation).

Note: must be the last part of a query.
 <field value>
 gas
Search default fields only. Default fields are defined/referenced in various places in the API documentation.

To search all fields, use the wildcard example immediately above.
