Tornado VPS, Inc. was founded as Prgmr.com, Inc. in 2005 to sell Virtual Private Servers. The business started with FreeBSD Jails but within the first year had moved to Xen2 with a NetBSD dom0.
Today our fleet runs the Xen Project's hypervisor with a CentOS dom0.
Multiple terms will use OR semantics, returning documents that have any term. e.g., BSD Linux returns pages referencing BSD or Linux. AND semantics are available using the plus (+) operator. e.g., +BSD +Linux returns pages referencing both BSD and Linux. The minus (-) operator returns pages without the given term. e.g., BSD -Linux returns pages referencing BSD that do not reference Linux.
To search for a term in page titles, prefix the term with title:. For section headings, prefix the term with heading:. To search for a term in body text, prefix the term with body:. e.g., title:Linux returns pages with Linux in the title. By default the entire document is searched for a given term.
The glob (*) operator is used to match multiple words. e.g., *BSD returns pages for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc. Wildcards can be combined with fields. e.g., title:*BSD returns pages mentioning the BSD operating system family in the title.
The caret (^) operator is used to increase the relevance of a given term over others in the query. e.g., *BSD FreeBSD^5 returns pages matching the *BSD wildcard sorting those that also reference FreeBSD to the top of the results. The number after the caret represents a multiplier on the search score for pages matching the given term.
