Digit sequencesNumbersCodes, dates and decimals may all match; check separators before treating a match as a number.
Tags beginning with #HashtagThe # is included; repeated tags stay repeated.
Names beginning with @@ mentionsThese are text patterns, not verified accounts; the part after @ in an email may also match.
Text inside quotation marksQuoted textReturns the inner text without the marks; try single or double quotation marks in the pasted passage.
Whole lines containing a phraseLines containing a keyword + enter a keywordReturns whole matching lines, ignoring case; an empty keyword gives no results.

If results are missing or unexpected
