Search Tips
- Check Your Spelling
Make sure 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 try to spell the search terms correctly.
- Use Multiple Words
Use multiple words when performing your search. The search results will return more refined results from several words than from a single word. For example, typing our free service will return more relevant results than typing only service. (Keep in mind, relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.)
- Use Wildcards
Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The * character (asterisk) is used as the wildcard character.
For 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.
Wildcards may be combined with the standard plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers, quotes for phrases, as well as the field search specifiers.
+wh* -se*ch will find all pages which have a word that starts with wh and which does not contain a word that starts with se and ends with ch.
"wh* are" will find the phrases where are, what are, why are, etc.
