la syntaxe correcte ... (pour) les recherches complexes


Explanation:
search calculations format
la syntaxe correcte ... (pour) les recherches complexes


Explanation:
Ensure that the proper search calculations format is used.
=>
"calculations" is a total misnomer when it comes to defining complex searches;

the combined criteria and all the operators and brackets do look like an arithmetical expression, but it's not a "calculation" - it's a definition of a complex search criterium.

the rules as to how to combine simple criteria and all the operators (or, and, not etc.) all together are known collectively as the "syntax" - that is specific to each software used and to each search engine - the "syntax" for a complex search on Google might not be same as the one for a complex search of a database.

What this instruction is saying is "check the correct syntax for the specific database or search engine" as they tend to be similar, which makes it easy to make mistakes by overlooking small differences.

IOW: "format" for search calculation = the syntax to be respected when defining complex search criteria

=
assurez-vous que la syntaxe correcte est utilisée pour les recherches complexes
