Search Help
Searches are normally performed with "must contain" words. A match requires
that all of the words entered be present on the page. You can search for a
specific phrase by enclosing it in double quotes ("). You can explicitly search for pages which contain a specific
word or phrase by
prefixing it with an AND (+) sign. Only pages which contain that word or phrase will be shown.
You can search for pages that may contain a specific word or phrase by
prefixing it with an OR (|) sign. Pages which contain that word or phrase will optionally
be shown.
You can ignore all pages which contain a specific word or phrase by prefixing it with a
NOT or
minus (-) sign. Pages that contains that word or phrase will not be displayed in
the search results. Note that negated phrases imply the presence of both words,
but not as a phrase. You can limit your search to a particular site by using
the "SITE:" prefix before the full domain name. All search words are case insensitive. Matches will be found in the page title, keywords, description and body text.
