Near - Words, phrases, or wildcards separated by the function

FormsOf - Matches a word and the inflectional versions of that
word.

IsAbout - Combines matching results over multiple word, phrase,
or wildcard search terms.
* Each search term can optionally be weighted.

Logical Operators:
NOT can only occur after AND. The NOT operator cannot be used if there
is only one match_condition, and NOT cannot be used after the OR operator.
You can use parentheses to group and nest content_search_terms. The
following table shows the logical operator precedence order.
Order (precedence)
Logical operator
First (highest)
NOT
Second
AND
Third (lowest)
OR
Logical operators of the same type are associative, and there is no
specified calculation order. For example, (A AND B) AND (C AND D) can
be calculated (B AND C) AND (A AND D) with no change in the logical
result.
