To use the search feature, you can look for a single
word. Or, use the tips below to refine your search to find more
specific results.
- Look for a phrase.
Example - type A/C Maintenance to find the exact phrase
a/c maintenance. Since the search is not case-sensitive,
this is equivalent to A/C Maintenance.
- Look for two or more words at once by using the
AND operator.
Example - type A/C AND maintenance to find documents
that have both the word a/c and the word maintenance
anywhere.
- Look for words that are close to each other by
using the NEAR operator instead of the AND operator. When you
use NEAR, the closer together the words are, the higher the rank
of the page, so the higher it appears in the list of search results.
Example - type A/C NEAR maintenance to match documents
where the word A/C is within 50 words of the word maintenance.
- Look for synonyms or similar words by using the
OR operator. Note that if you don't use the OR operator and search
using multiple words, the words are treated as a phrase.
Example - type car OR automobile to find the word car
or the word automobile, but not necessarily both.
- Limit your search by using the AND NOT operator
to exclude words.
Example - type cost AND NOT accounting
to find all instances of cost, as long as cost is
not followed by the phrase accounting.
- Use double quotes if you want to use AND, OR,
NOT, or NEAR literally.
Example - type "Motor and Repair" to find
documents with the phrase Motor and Repair. Without
the double quotes, this query would use the AND operator instead
of the phrase.
- Use a single asterisk (*) to look for words that
begin with the same letters.
Example - type water * to find wash,
windows, and so on.
- Use a double asterisk (**) to look for all forms
of a word.
Example - type drive** to match drive, drove,
driven, and driving.
