A Few Basics to Remember When Searching the Site

  • Spelling: One of the easiest mistakes to make when searching for information is to misspell your query. If you get few or bad results, check to make sure you've spelled everything correctly, or try alternate ways of spelling your words (e.g. color vs. colour or center vs. centre).
  • Synonyms: Sometimes using different words or more common terms that mean the same thing can greatly improve your results.
  • Be specific: Don't be afraid to tell a search engine exactly what you're looking for. Use precise terms to get the most relevant results.
  • Make your search more general: There are times when your search can be too specific, and you'll get no results. If this happens, try broadening your query topic.
