Search Tips
- Check spelling - Make sure your
search terms are spelled correctly. The search engine will attempt to find words
that sound similar to your search terms, but it is always best to spell the search
terms correctly.
- Use multiple words - Use multiple
words when performing your search. More words for a search will return more refined
results than a search from a single word.
- Use similar words - The more similar
words you use in a search, the more relevant results will be to the words that you
are searching for.
- Use appropriate capitalization
- Use capitalization when looking for proper nouns such as the name of a person or
place. Lowercase words will match any words of any case.
- Use quotation marks around phrases
- Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent to each other within
a phrase. For example, search for "Alan Carter" within quotes rather than
just Alan Carter.
- Use Boolean plus (+) or minus (-) operators
- Precede a search term or phrase with a plus (+) sign to indicate it must appear
in a search result. Precede a search term with a minus (-) sign to indicate an undesirable
search term or phrase that must not appear in a search result. For example, searching
for +model -eagle will return results that are about models, but not about eagles.
- Use field searches - Field searches
allow you to search for words that appear in a specific part of a document such as
the body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:),
meta keywords (keys:) or URL (url:). The field name should include the colon and
precede the search word or phrase with no spaces between them. For example, searching
for title:Breakaway will find pages with Breakaway in the title of the page.
