# Text

Specify your entire query string including the nonalphanumeric characters. If you include any special characters, you must treat them appropriately, as shown in the following table.

Treat... | Like this:
--- | ---
`&` | Percent-encode ampersands that are part of the query string.
`~ [ ] * ? : ( ) "` | If you have not changed the Content component default behavior, replace the character with a space. If you configured Content not to treat any of these characters as a separator by specifying them in the `DiminishSeparator` configuration parameter, remove the character from the search string. Alternatively, you can instruct Content to interpret the following characters as normal characters in query syntax by setting the `IgnoreSpecials` action parameter to `True` for the `Query` or `GetQueryTagValues` action: `*?":()` and Boolean or proximity operators, for example `AND`, `NOT`, `OR`, `NEAR`, and so on. This disables Wildcard searching, phrase queries, field restrictions, and Boolean operations.
