Always try to refine your search:
- Searching for
the expression science club
will gather all documents that contain the word science
along with any other document that contains the word club.
- To search for a collection of words, "Use QUOTES"! Typing the expression "science club" (with quotes) would get documents that only have that exact phrase in them.
AltaVista style expressions are permitted:
-
In a search, you may include or exclude words. To make sure that a word is always included in your search, place a plus sign (+) immediately before the keyword (no spaces) in the search box. To make sure that a word is always excluded from your search, place a minus sign (-) immediately before the keyword (no spaces) in the search box. For example: To find recipes for chocolate cookies without chips, try typing: recipe cookie +chocolate -chips.
Wildcards are acceptable:
-
You can use wildcards by typing an asterisk (*) at the end of a keyword. This will now give you the ability to search for multiple forms of that word. Example: Typing big*, will find big, bigger or biggest.
