CLOSE WINDOW   Check spelling Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. Use multiple words Using multiple words will return more refined results than a single word. For example, typing journey to egypt will return more relevant results than typing just egypt. (Keep in mind that relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.) Use appropriate capitalization Capitalize proper nouns, and remember that lower-case words will match any case. For example, typing search will return all documents containing the words search, Search, and SEARCH. Typing Search, however, will instruct the search engine to look only for the capitalized word. Use quotation marks Use quotation marks to find words which must appear adjacent to each other, for example, " journey to cyprus" Otherwise, the search results will include the word journey, to, and the word cyprus, but not necessarily in that order. This means that the words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document. 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. Use wildcards Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The * character is used as the wildcard character. or instance, searching for wh* will find the words what, why, when, whether, and any other word that starts with wh. Searching for *her* will find the words here, whether, together, gathering, and any other word that contains her anywhere in the word.   CLOSE WINDOW
