Search Tips

By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have
exact matches for all of the words entered in your search
query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which contain
any words in your search query. If that happens a short message
is displayed at the top of the search results indicating this has
been done.

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search
behavior.

1. 1. phrase search
      The search engine supports three types of phrase search.
      1. To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
         Example: “knowledge management strategy”
      2. To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use
         square brackets [around the words]
         Example: [knowledge management strategy]
      3. To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces {
         around the words }
         Example: {knowledge management strategy}

1. + and – qualifiers
   If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on
   the page.
   If you prepend a word with – that word is required to
   not be on the page.
   Example: +always -never
2. * wildcard
   If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which
   start the same way as that query word will match.
   Example: gift*
3. ? wildcard
   If a query word contains a ? any character will match that
   position.
   Example: b?g
4. boolean search
   You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND,
   OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
   Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)

All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
