Tips:
Use quotation marks
When searching for a specific name use quotation marks to find words which must appear
adjacent to each other, for example, "Diamond Queen" Otherwise, the search
results will include the word Diamond and the word Queen, but not necessarily in that
order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document.
Use plus (+) or minus (-)
Use a plus sign when your search term or phrase must appear in the search results. Use a
minus sign to indicate undesirable term(s). The plus sign tells the search engine that a
certain word or phrase is required in the search results, and a minus sign indicates that
a word or phrase must be absent in the search results.
Note: A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave no spaces between the plus
or minus sign and the term.
Use wildcards
Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The *
character is used as the wildcard character. For instance, searching for wh* will find the
words what, why, when, whether, and any other word that starts with wh. Searching for
*her* will find the words here, whether, together, gathering, and any other word that
contains her anywhere in the word.
Use appropriate capitalization
Capitalize proper nouns. Lowercase words will match any case. For example, typing search
will return all documents containing the words search, Search, and SEARCH.
