Search Tips
- Enter one or more keywords.
- Searches are not case sensitive.
- Use quotes to find an exact phrase, for example: "big cake."
- You can enter multiple keywords, such as good food. Or you can enter a Boolean expression, using AND, OR and NOT.
- Multiple keywords entered without a Boolean use the AND expression. Thus, entering good food is the same as entering good AND food.
- You can use an expression like pizza OR pie to find pages containing either keyword.
- You can also use parentheses in Boolean expressions. For example, you can enter (pizza AND cheese) OR pie.
- You can use the asterisk (*) as a suffix wildcard character in keywords. For example, enter cook* to find pages with keywords such as cook or cookery or cooking.
- Use the NEAR operator to find keywords that appear near to each other. For example, type peanut NEAR butter to find documents with words peanut and butter appearing one near another.
- Beside using NEAR operator, you can specify how close keywords could be. For example, use "peanut W/5 butter" (with quotes) to find documents where words peanut and butter appear within a frame of 5 words, or "W/7 peanut butter cookie" to find peanut, butter and cookie within a 7 word frame. Note that common words are not counted as part of word frame.
- If no matches are found, reword your query and try again.
