Tips


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 try to spell the search terms correctly. search

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. Keep in mind, relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms. search

Use similar words 
The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant results you will get back. search

Use appropriate capitalization
Capitalize proper nouns. Lowercase words will match any case. For example, typing search will return all documents containing the words search, Search, and SEARCH. However, typing Search will only search for pages about Search service. search

Use quotation marks
Use quotation marks to find words which must appear adjacent to each other, for example, "our pledge to you." Otherwise, the search results will include the word our, pledge, to, and the word you, but not necessarily in that order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document. search

Use field searches
Field searches allow you to create specific searches for words that appear in a specific part of a document. A field search can be performed on body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta key words (keys:) or URL (url:). The field name should be in lowercase and immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces between the colon and the search term. search


Note: The field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases must be contained within quotation marks. search
