Search Tips
At its simplest, a search query can be just a word. But with the tips below, you can refine your search to give you more complete results.
- Look for a phrase.
Example - type cement trucks to find the exact phrase cement trucks.
Since the search is not case-sensitive, this is equivalent to Cement Trucks.
- Look for two or more words at once by using the AND operator.
Example - type concrete AND cement to find records that have both the
word concrete and the word cement anywhere.
- Look for words that are close to each other by using the NEAR operator
instead of the AND operator. When you use NEAR, the closer together the words
are, the higher the rank of the page, so the higher it appears in the list
of search results.
Example - type cement NEAR concrete to match records where the word
cement is within 50 words of the word concrete.
- Look for synonyms or similar words by using the OR operator. Note that
if you don't use the OR operator and search using multiple words, the words
are treated as a phrase.
Example - type concrete OR cement to find the word concrete or the
word cement, but not necessarily both.
- Limit your search by using the AND NOT operator to exclude words.
Example - type concrete AND NOT sidewalks to find all instances of
concrete, as long as concrete is not followed by the phrase sidewalks.
- Use double quotes if you want to use AND, OR, NOT, or NEAR literally.
Example - type "houses near parks" to find records with the phrase
houses near parks. Without the double quotes, this query would use
the NEAR operator instead of the phrase.
- Use a single asterisk (*) to look for words that begin with the same letters.
Example - type key* to find key, keying, keyhole,
or, type 1998* to find 1998-001 CI, 1998-002 CI and so on.
- Use a double asterisk (**) to look for all forms of a word.
Example - type fly** to match fly, flew, flown,
and flying.
