Search Rules

This search engine helps you find documents on this website. Here's how it works: you tell the search service what you're looking for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search box. The search service responds by giving you a list of all the Web pages in our index relating to those topics. The most relevant content will appear at the top of your results.

How To Use:

1. Type your keywords in the search box.
2. Press the Search button to start your search.

Tip: Don't worry if you find a large number of results. In fact, use more than a couple of words when searching. Even though the number of results will be large, the most relevant content will always appear at the top of the result pages.

Simple Tips for More Exact Searches

Searches are case insensitive. Searching for "Mod" will match the lowercase "mod" and uppercase "MOD".

Accent sensitivity relates to Latin characters like õ.

Phrase Search
The search engine supports phrase search.
To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
Example: "moody blue"

Including or excluding words:

To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box.

Example: To find Elvis sings Moody Blue in Vegas but not in August,
try "moody +vegas -august".

Expand your search using wildcards (*):

By typing an * within a keyword, you can match up to four letters.

Example: Try lov* to find love, loving or lovin'.

Fancy Features for Typical Searches

You can search more than just text. Here are all of the other ways you can search on the net:

text:text
Finds pages that contain the specified text in the body of the document. By way of comparison, searches without the "text:" attribute will scan the URL, title, links, and META tags as well as the document body.

title:text
Finds pages that contain the specified word or phrase in the page title (which appears in the title bar of most browsers). The search title:Elvis would find pages with Elvis in the title.
