Once there lived a poor peasant. He had a small piece of land. Day and night, not knowing rest, he worked on this piece.

One day, when spring came, the poor man began to plow the land. He looks - a white stork flies across the sky. A stork flew up to a plowed field, screamed, and suddenly fell to the ground like a stone. A poor man ran up and saw that one of the stork's wings was broken. He picked up the stork and carefully carried it home.

It is necessary, - he says, - to save such a good bird!

At home, the poor man examined the broken wing of the stork and began to treat him. For a long time he cared for a sick bird. The stork recovered and flew away. The poor man looked after him and said:
- May this bird live long and never know trouble!

The next year, in the spring, the poor man finished plowing and went out into the field. sow. Suddenly, the same stork, whom he cured, flew in and threw three watermelon seeds on the ground. The poor man picked up watermelon seeds and planted them in the ground.

A few days later, watermelons sprouted, green leaves appeared, whips stretched, huge flowers bloomed.

The poor man worked sparing no effort: he weeded them in time, watered them in time. So the time has come for the harvest. The watermelons were ripe, and they were as big as they had ever seen in those places. The poor man picked three watermelons and brought them home.

Well, such watermelons cannot be eaten by me alone! - he said.

And the poor man invited all his relatives and all his friends, the same poor people, to visit. Friends and relatives gathered.

And the owner took the watermelon and wanted to cut it, but he just couldn’t pierce it with a knife. Then he tried to cut the second watermelon - and again he could not. The third one was the same. The owner was surprised, and his guests were surprised. Finally, he hit the watermelon with a knife with all his might. The watermelon burst, and instead of pulp and seeds, there were gold coins in it. They clattered to the floor. The other two watermelons also contained gold.

The poor man was delighted, shook out all the gold and distributed it to his guests.

On each of the three watermelon lashes, the poor man grew ten watermelons. He collected the rest of the watermelons, shook out a whole pile of gold from them, and since then began to live in abundance.

And next to him lived a rich man. He saw that the neighbor got rich, wanted to know how it happened. Came and asked:
"Tell me, why are you so rich?" What did you do for this?

The poor man told him, hiding nothing, how it all happened.

“Oh, I wish I had so much gold!” - thought the greedy rich man and went into the field to look for a stork.

The white stork slowly walked around the field.

The rich man slowly crept up and hit the stork on the leg with a stick.

The stork screamed and fell to the ground.

The rich man rushed to him, grabbed him and carried him home. He bandaged the stork's leg and began to heal him. The stork recovered and flew away.

In the spring, the rich man went out into the field and impatiently began to wait for the white stork to fly in and bring him wonderful watermelon seeds.

But there was still no stork ...

Finally, the stork flew in and threw three watermelon seeds to the rich man.

The rich man was trembling with greed. He grabbed the seeds and immediately planted them in the ground.

Soon sprouts appeared, wide leaves unfolded, long green lashes crawled along the ground, flowers bloomed, and then huge watermelons grew.

When the watermelons ripened, the rich man invited all his relatives to visit. His relatives and friends, the same rich people, gathered. As soon as they hit the watermelon with a knife, it cracked, and a whole swarm of evil bumblebees flew out of the middle. And these bumblebees were like large nuts. They began to buzz and sting both the rich man and his relatives. Everyone's cheeks were swollen, their eyes were swollen, their lips were swollen, and they all fled away with abuse and screams.

To narrow the search results, you can refine the query by specifying the fields to search on. The list of fields is presented above. For example:

You can search across multiple fields at the same time:

logical operators

The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all the elements in the group:

research development

Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values ​​in the group:

study OR development

Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:

study NOT development

Search type

When writing a query, you can specify the way in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search based on morphology, without morphology, search for a prefix, search for a phrase.
By default, the search is based on morphology.
To search without morphology, it is enough to put the "dollar" sign before the words in the phrase:

$ study $ development

To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:

study *

To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:

" research and development "

Search by synonyms

To include synonyms of a word in the search results, put a hash mark " # " before a word or before an expression in brackets.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthesized expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one was found.
Not compatible with no-morphology, prefix, or phrase searches.

# study

grouping

Parentheses are used to group search phrases. This allows you to control the boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:

Approximate search words

For an approximate search, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word in a phrase. For example:

bromine ~

The search will find words such as "bromine", "rum", "prom", etc.
You can optionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1, or 2. For example:

bromine ~1

The default is 2 edits.

Proximity criterion

To search by proximity, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:

" research development "~2

Expression relevance

To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the sign " ^ " at the end of an expression, and then indicate the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the given expression.
For example, in this expression, the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":

study ^4 development

By default, the level is 1. Valid values ​​are a positive real number.

Search within an interval

To specify the interval in which the value of some field should be, you should specify the boundary values ​​in brackets, separated by the operator TO.
A lexicographic sort will be performed.

Such a query will return results with the author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in an interval, use square brackets. Use curly braces to escape a value.
