Search Tips

Basic Searching:
Simply enter a word or phrase in the box above and press the "Search!" button. All pages within the site containing these words will be returned, indexing by relevance. For ease of use, searches are not case-sensitive.
If you would prefer to be more specific, the "advanced" functions can be used (see below).

Wildcard "*" Searching:
Wildcard searches can be used to search for parts of words. For example, you may want to find words that begin with "tru" (tru*), words that end with "ing" (*ing) or perhaps words containing "sept" (*sept*).
Examples:
tru* will match truck, trucking, trucker etc..
*ing will match sing, flying, driving etc..
*sept* will match September, aseptic, antiseptic etc..

Multiple Words and Phrases:
To search for phrases which may exist together (eg. Index Server) you must surround the query with speech marks ("index server").
Examples:
Index server will return documents containing the words index and server regardless of position or order on the page.
"index server" will return documents containing the phrase index server where these two words are together and server follows index.

The "OR" operator:
The default "Boolean" operator for searches is "AND". Where a search is submitted containing multiple words or phrases this will return documents that contain all the words or phrases. If you would prefer to use the "OR" operator, simply use "OR" between your keywords or phrases.
Examples:
Index server will return documents containing Index and simon.
Index OR server will return documents containing either index or simon.
