Search Tips
To perform a search, type what you are
looking for into the search box:
: Check spelling
Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. The search engine will attempt
to find words that sound similar your search terms, but it is always best to try to spell
the search terms correctly.
Example:
Use multiple words
Use multiple words
when performing your search. The search results will return more refined results from
several words than from a single word. For example, typing our free service will yield more relevant results than typing only service. (Keep in
mind, relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.) xsample:
BACK
Use
similar words
The more similar
words you use in a search, the more relevant results you will get back
.
BACK
Example:
Use
appropriate capitalization
Capitalize proper nouns.
Lowercase words will match any case. For example, typing search will return all documents containing the words search,
Search, and SEARCH. However, typing Search will only search for pages about the our Search service.
BACK
Example:
Use
quotation marks
Use quotation marks to find
words which must appear adjacent to each other, for example, "our pledge
to you." Otherwise, the search results
will include the word our, pledge, to, and the word you,
but not necessarily in that order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within
the document.
BACK
Example:
Use plus
(+) or minus (-)
Use a plus sign when your search term or
phrase must appear in the search results. Use a minus sign to indicate undesirable
term(s). The plus sign tells the search engine that a certain word or phrase is required
in the search results, and a minus sign indicates that a word or phrase must be absent in
the search results.
Note: A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave no spaces between the plus
or minus sign and the term.
BACK
Example:
Use field
searches
Field searches allow you to create specific
searches for words that appear in a specific part of a document. A field search can be
performed on body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description
(desc:), meta key words (keys:) or URL (url:). The field name should be in lowercase and
immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces between the colon and the
search term.
Note: The field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases must be
contained within quotation marks.
