Tips

Use these tips to exploit the full power of our search engine.

  • Use and, or, and not to create boolean relationships between multiple words. For example: vacation and holidays
  • Search with near to find words that are physically close to each other. The returned pages are ranked in the results list in order of proximity: the closer together the words are, the higher the rank of that page.
  • Use a single asterisk * to search for words with the same prefix. For example, in your query form type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on.
  • Use double asterisks to search for all forms of a word. For example, in the form type sink** to find sink, sinking, sank, and sunk.
  • Use and not 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

  • Put quotation marks around keywords if you want the search engine to take them literally. For instance, if you type the following query:

    "system near manager"
  • The search engine will literally look for the complete phrase system near manager. But if you type the same query without the quotation marks:

system near manager

  • The search engine searches all documents for the words system and manager.
  • Use Free Text Queries if you want to enter queries using natural language. The search engine will examine your query, extract nouns and noun phrases and construct a query for you. With free text queries you can enter any text you want, from a proper question, to a string of words and phrases, without worrying about the query language. For example, if you type in the following query:

"How do I use the LAN-AMMO Administrator?"

The search engine will create a query for you automatically and begin the search. Note that when you're using free text queries, the regular query language features are disabled and keywords such as and, or, and near are interpreted as normal words.
