aromatic aldehyde	the word “aromatic” OR “aldehyde”
+aromatic +aldehyde	both words “aromatic” AND “aldehyde”
+aromatic -aldehyde	the word “aromatic” but NOT “aldehyde”
“aromatic aldehyde”	the exact phrase “aromatic aldehyde”
benz*	words which begin with “benz”, such as “benzene” or “benzyl”
benz*yl	words that begin with “benz” and end with “yl”, such as “benzyl” or “benzoyl”
benzyl~	words that are close to the word “benzyl”, such as “benzoyl” (i.e., fuzzy search)
