The following tips, as suggested by them, may be helpful in doing a successful search of this site. (Provided the name you're searching for is on the site.)
- Check spelling
-
Make sure your search terms (names) are spelled correctly. The search
engine will attempt to find words that sound similar to your search
terms, but it is always best to spell the search terms correctly.
- 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.
