| + | |||
| + | '''Avoid short and common words''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is the most likely cause of an unexpected failed search. If your search terms include a common word such as "the", "one", "your", "more", "right", "while", "when", "who", "which", "such", "every", "about", "onto", then your search will likely fail without any results. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Search is case-insensitive''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The searches for "ford", "Ford" and "FORD" all return the same results. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Phrases''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Search for a phrase by enclosing it in double quotation marks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Wildcards''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use a wildcard *, at the '''end''' of a search term only. To search for pages with the words "boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat*". You cannot use "*boat" to find Riverboat, etc. | ||
