Syntax codes are a set of rules that you can use on the Crowd Intelligence platform to better sift through your data and construct specific Boolean queries. They can be applied in your keyword filters, general excludes, and Boolean queries. Think of syntax codes as the language you use to communicate precise instructions to the platform. They must be used exactly as specified so that the platform can correctly interpret and execute your search criteria.
