Search Tips explained |
Check spelling |
Top |
Make sure the spelling of your search
terms is correct. |
Use multiple words |
Top |
If you use more than a single word,
you'll get more refined results.
Example: fission products will return more
relevant results than only fission. |
Use similar words |
Top |
The more similar words you use, the
more relevant results you will obtain.
Example: safe, secure,
privacy, security. |
Use capitalization |
Top |
Capitalize proper nouns. Lowercase
words match any case.
Example: meadows will return
all documents with the words meadows,
Meadows and MEADOWS. Meadows will
only search for pages about Meadows. |
Use quotes to search for an
exact phrase |
Top |
Use quotes to look for words which
must appear adjacent to each other.
Example: Use "Process
Modeling and Aerosol Techniques", otherwise search
results will include the word Process,
Modeling, and, Aerosol, and the word
Techniques, but not necessarily in this order.
Those words may appear anywhere, in any order within
the document. |
Use + to require and - to
exclude words or phrases |
Top |
Use + when you want the search term
or phrase appear in the search results. Use - to
indicate unwanted term(s). A phrase must be contained
within quotes. Leave no spaces between + or - and the
term. |
Use wildcards (*) |

Use wildcards (use * as the wildcard
character) to increase the number of matches for a
request. quotes to look for words which must appear
adjacent to each other.
Example: Using lab*,
will return documents containing the words
laboratory, laborious, labile,
labyrinth and any other word starting with lab.
If you search for *her* you'll find documents
where here, either, thermal, and
any other word that contains her anywhere in
the word. |
Use field searches |
Top |
The use of field searches allows you
to target for words appearing in a specific part of a
document. You can perform a field search on:
body text (body:),
• title text (title:),
• alt text (alt:),
• meta description (desc:),
• meta key words (keys:),
• or URL (url:).
The filed name should be in lowercase and immediately
followed by a colon. Avoid spaces between the colon

performed using a word or phrase. Phrases must be
given within quotation marks. |
