The form hakulausekkeen is the genitive singular, meaning “the search phrase’s” or “of the search phrase.” In information retrieval, a hakulauseke is what a user inputs to locate relevant documents, products, or records.

A hakulauseke can range from a simple keyword to a complex boolean or proximity query. It may include operators, quotation marks for exact phrases, and wildcards.
