Search Tips

• Search with the keyword NEAR, rather than AND, for words close to each other. For example, both of these queries, 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.
• Put quotation marks around keywords if you want the Indexing Service to take them literally. For instance, if you type the following query: "system near manager," Indexing Service will literally look for the complete phrase system near manager. But if you type the same query without the quotation marks: system near manager, Indexing Service searches all documents for the words system and manager.
• 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, write the following query: 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 query finds all pages that mention Abbott or Costello or both.
