Need Help Searching?

Some people are just not yet that internet savvy that they have a hard time searching for their keywords. So while online, I found a list of very helpful searching tips which you could also might use.

1. phrase search
The search engine supports three types of phrase search.
o To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
Example: “free search engine”
o To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
Example: [free search engine]
o To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
Example: {free search engine}
2. + and – qualifiers
If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
If you prepend a word with – that word is required to not be on the page.
Example: +always -never
3. * wildcard
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
Example: gift*
4. ? wildcard
If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
Example: b?g
5. boolean search
You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
