Search Tips...
Doing a site search is easy. Simply type one or more search terms into the search box and hit the 'Enter' key or click the 'Go' button.
Now, choosing the right search terms is the key to finding the information you need. Start with the obvious - if you're looking for general information on Education, try Education.
Keep in mind that a site search should return around 90% of items on the site, because of limitations of select file types and dated information some items will not be included in the search.
As an example, there are two different types of PDF files, searchable and non-searchable, the searchable PDF’s will be indexed completely by the search engine, but the non-searchable PDF’s will only be indexed via the document's title.
Keywords Phrases and Wild-cards
To locate words, just type them in as you would in a word processor. Letter cases will be ignored.
The wild-card character * (asterisk) may be used to match just the prefix of a word or to ignore the middle of something.
*
To locate a number of adjacent words in a specific order, surround them with " (double quotation) characters. Putting a - (hyphen) between words will also force order and one word proximity.

You may enter a query in the form of a sentence or question. The software will automatically identify the important words and phrases within your query and remove the "noise words''.
Applying Search Logic
Sets (or lists) of things are specified by placing the elements within parenthesis, separated by commas. Example: (bob,joe,sam,sue) . In the examples below, you could replace any of the keywords with a list like this.
The default behavior of the search is to locate an intersection (or 'AND') of every element within a query. This means that the query: "microsoft bob interface" is the equivalent to the boolean query: "microsoft AND bob AND interface" .
+
@
bob sam joe
bob sam -joe
bob sam joe @1
A B C D @1
+A B C D @1
A B C -D @1
The plus(+) and minus(-) operators must be attached to the term to which they apply. There must be a space between the operator and any preceding term.
bob +sam -joe
bob + sam - joe
bob+sam-joe
