The
following search tips will help you get the best possible
search results.
Check
spelling
Be sure that your search terms are spelled correctly.
The search engine will attempt to find words that sound
similar to your search terms, but it is always best
to spell the search terms correctly.
Use
multiple words
Use multiple words when performing your search. More
words for a search will return more refined results
than a search from a single word.
Use
similar words
The more similar words you use in a search, the more
relevant results will be to the words that you are searching
for.
Use
appropriate capitalization
Use capitalization when looking for proper nouns such
as the name of a person or place. Lowercase words will
match any words of any case.
Use
quotation marks around phrases
Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent
to each other within a phrase. For example, search for
"claims adjuster" within quotes rather than
just claims adjuster.
Use
Boolean plus (+) or minus (-) operators
Precede a search term or phrase with a plus (+) sign
to indicate it must appear in a search result. Precede
a search term with a minus (-) sign to indicate an undesirable
search term or phrase that must not appear in a search
result. For example, searching for +dogs -collie will
return results that are about dogs, but not about collies.
Use
field searches
Field searches allow you to search for words that appear
in a specific part of a document such as the body text
(body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta
description (desc:), meta keywords (keys:) or URL (url:).
The field name should include the colon and precede
the search word or phrase with no spaces between them.
For example, searching for title:PPO network will find
pages with PPO network in the title of the page.
