# IgnoreSpecials

Set `IgnoreSpecials` to `True` to interpret special elements as normal characters instead of query syntax. This option disables Wildcards, phrase queries, field restriction and Boolean operations.

This parameter affects the `*?":()` characters, and the Boolean and proximity operators `AND`, `NOT`, `OR`, `EOR`, `XOR`, `NEAR`, `DNEAR`, `WNEAR`, `BEFORE`, and `AFTER`.
