Tips for searching

• Use multiple words - Use multiple words when performing your search. More words for a search will return more refined results than a search from a single word.
• Use similar words - The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant results will be to the words that you are searching for
• Use appropriate capitalization - Use capitalization when looking for proper nouns such as the name of a person or place. Lowercase words will match any words of any case
• Use quotation marks around phrases - Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent to each other within a phrase. For example, search for "Indira Gandhi" within quotes rather than just Indira Gandhi
• Use Boolean plus (+) or minus (-) operators - Precede a search term or phrase with a plus (+) sign to indicate it must appear in a search result. Precede a search term with a minus (-) sign to indicate an undesirable search term or phrase that must not appear in a search result. For example, searching for +dogs -collie will return results that are about dogs, but not about collies
• Use field searches - Field searches allow you to search for words that appear in a specific part of a document such as the body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta keywords (keys:) or URL (url:). The field name should include the colon and precede the search word or phrase with no spaces between them. For example, searching for title:presidents will find pages with presidents in the title of the page
• ATOMZ will not find text that is not rendered by the browser (except as specified in fields above), so text will not be found in anchor tags (i.e., the linked URL address http://www.domain.com or mailto:someone@somewhere.com), JavaScript, formatting, and/or comments (i.e., text in <!-- HTML comment -->).
• Sound-Alike Matching makes it more likely that a match will be made when you perform a search. For example, if you searched for "helth" when you actually meant "health" you might expect zero results. Sound-Alike Matching, however, would allow the match to be made and yield appropriate results. Sound-Alike matching only kicks in if there are 0 results found. It should be noted that Sound-alike Matching can yield unexpected results.
