By using the Search feature at the top of
the home
page, you can look for articles or
information about specific subjects.
To get the best
possible search results, try these tips:
- Check 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 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 single word search.
- Use similar words - The more
similar words you use in a search, the
more relevant the 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 "Social
Security" within quotes rather
than just Social Security.
- 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 you do not want to appear in a
search result. For example, searching for +tires
-Firestone will return results that
are about tires, but not about Firestone.
