Do you need help using our Search Engine? Read our
helpful hints provided below.
-
Look for words with the same prefix. For example, in the search form
type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard,
and so on.
-
Search for all forms of a word. For example, in the form type sink**
to find sink, sinking, sank, and sunk.
-
Search with the keyword NEAR, rather than AND,
for words close to each other. For example, both of these searches, system and
manager and system near manager, look for the words system
and manager on the same page. But with NEAR, the returned pages
are ranked in order of proximity: The closer together the words are, the higher the rank
of that page.
-
Refine your queries with the AND NOT keywords to
exclude certain text from your search. For example, if you want to find all instances of surfing
but not the Net, type the following: surfing AND NOT the Net
- Add the OR keyword to find all instances of either one word or another,
for example:
Abbott OR Costello. This search finds all pages that mention Abbott or Costello or both.
-
Put quotation marks around keywords if you want Index Server to take
them literally. For instance, if you type the following: "system near manager".
It will literally look for the complete phrase system near manager.
-
But if you
type the same words without the quotation marks:
system near manager.
It searches all documents for the words system and manager.
