Use our search tips with to get the best possible search results and find what you are looking for. The use of the following syntax can dramatically improve search results.

* Check spelling - Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. The search engine will attempt to find words that sound similar 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 "industrial revolution" within quotes rather than just industrial revolution.

* 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 +cities -London will return results that are about cities, but not about London.

* 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:street will find pages with street in the title of the page.
