General Search Tips

  • Use double quotes around phrases to search. Example: "caregiver stress".
  • Add + in front of terms or phrases that must appear in results.
  • Add - in front of terms or phrases that must not appear in results.
  • The + checkbox adds a plus in front of all terms/phrases for convenience.
  • The search results will include terms or phrases from the body text, page title and page description.
  • The score is the percentage of matching characters in a document.
  • ISO Latin-1 characters like äßçéñ..etc. are treated as english equivalents.
  • Special characters like #!$%|&..etc. are allowed.
  • Stop-terms are common terms like "it, and, the, that...". These will not be included in the search.

Advanced Search Tips

Searching can be expanded with a wildcard (*).

Adding a * to the end of a term will match all endings. For example: "test*" will match "test," "tested," "testing," etc. Stop-terms are included in wildcard searches. (Stop-terms are common terms like "it, and, the, that...".)

The following options can be placed in any order in front of the query:

c: for a case sensitive search
w: to match whole words only
st: to include stop-terms
all: to add + in front of all terms/phrases
match: score: date: or size: for the sorting choice
5-100: for the number of results to display per page
b: to search the body (full text) of documents
t: to search the title of documents
u: to search the URL (Web address) of documents
alt: to search the alternate text in documents
l: to search the links in documents
d: to search the meta-description in documents
k: to search the meta-keywords in documents
au: to search the meta-author in documents

For example:

The query above will perform a case sensitive search for "term" and "a phrase" in the body, title, and meta-description of documents. Fifteen results will be displayed per page and the results will be sorted by file size.
