Start out with a broad search
first. Then narrow it down as necessary. |
 |
Use the singular for your search
terms. The term tigers will search for
tigers (plural) and may miss tiger
(singular). If you search for tiger (singular),
you will find both tiger and tigers. |
 |
Use + directly
in front of word (+pets) to indicate word must be
in search results. |
 |
Use - directly
in front of word (-cats) to indicate word should
not be included in search results. |
 |
Use quotation
marks to indicate words in a phrase ("climb
every mountain"). |
 |
Use AND (capital
letters) to join words that must be in search results
(climb AND every AND mountain). |
 |
Use OR (capital
letters) to indicate that at least one of the words
must appear in search results (climb OR mountain). |
 |
Each Search Site is a little
different. Read the instructions carefully at each
Search Site in order to get the most from your searches. |
