To use this search page, you can look
for a single word. Or, use the tips below to refine your search to find more
specific results.
- Look for a specific phrase (default
search type).
Example - type sports events to find the exact phrase
sports events. Since the search is not case-sensitive, this is equivalent
to Sports Events.
- Look for two or more words at once
by using the AND operator.
Example - type sports AND events to find
documents that have both the word sports and the word
events.
- Look for words that are close to
each other by using the NEAR operator.
Example - type sports NEAR
events to match documents where the word sports is within 50 words of
the word events.
- Look for synonyms or similar words
by using the OR operator.
Example - type dogs OR puppies to find the
word dogs or the word puppies, but not necessarily
both.
- Limit your search by using the AND
NOT operator to exclude words.
Example - type surfing AND NOT the
Internet to find all instances of surfing, as long as surfing
is not followed by the phrase the Internet.
- Use double quotes if you want to use
AND, OR, NOT, or NEAR literally.
Example - type "houses near parks" to
find documents with the exact phrase houses near parks. Without the
double quotes, this query would use the NEAR operator instead of the
phrase.
- Use a single asterisk (*) to look
for words that begin with the same letters.
Example - type key* to
find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so
on.
- Use a double asterisk (**) to look
for all forms of a word.
Example - type fly** to match fly,
flew, flown, and flying. |
