Where is the forum's search manual?

How do I search for instances where "@ifif" or “@ifset” is being used? There must be a trove of insightful examples on this forum, but most of the time, search results are highly irrelevant. And with special characters like “@” it gets even harder (I tried with surrounding quotes, and ‘escaping’ with “\@” etc. but to no avail.

Is there a page explaining something about the correct search syntax?

Escaping worked for me, i.e. \@ifset finds posts mentioning "@ifset" without interpreting it as a username.

I don't think it mentions how to deal with @ characters but Discourse's search syntax is documented here: Searching for content effectively - Using Discourse - Discourse Meta

Thanks. My bad for using the escape char within the quotes.
And the Discourse help page is apparently what I was looking for.
