Search Tips To search Apple.com, type in a few descriptive words and click the search button for a list of relevant results. Search returns pages that contain all the words in your query. Refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new search will return a smaller subset of the pages found for your original "too broad" query. Automatic "AND" Queries  By default, Search only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "AND" between terms. For example, to search for product information, enter: PowerBook G4Note: Search is not case sensitive. PowerBook G4 and powerbook g4 are treated as the same search. "OR" Searches Search supports the logical "OR" operator. To retrieve pages that include either word A or word B, use an uppercase "OR" between terms. For example, to search for content about training for Final Cut Pro and Shake, enter: training Final Cut Pro OR Shake Phrase Searches You can search for phrases by adding quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes appear together in all returned documents. "how to upgrade"Note: Search also recognizes hyphens, slashes, periods, equal signs and apostrophes as phrase connectors. For example: 17-inch Word Variations (Stemming) To provide the most accurate results, Search does not use stemming or support wildcard searches. In other words, Search uses exactly the words that you enter in the search box. Searches for "update" or "update*" will not yield "updating" or "updater." If in doubt, try all forms: update OR updating OR updater Excluding Words You can exclude a word from your search by putting a minus sign ("-") immediately in front of the term you want to exclude. Make sure you include a space before the minus sign. For example, to find an "ftp client" that isn't "shareware", type: ftp client -shareware |
