You can search for exact phrases by surrounding them in double quotes. Or you can just type the words and select "Search EXACT".

Boolean Operators: + -
Use + in front of each word or a quoted phrase that you require. You can also use – in front of each word that you want to exclude.

Boolean Expressions: AND OR NOT ( )

  • Use AND, OR, NOT, (, and ) to form a Boolean expression.
  • AND requires, OR allows, NOT excludes.
  • Use double quotes to protect the words "and", "or", or "not" in a phrase.

Capitalization doesn't matter. The ranked results will come from a total match on the words and phrases which you supply, so try to think of several specific terms for your topic and spell them correctly. It may help to include important plurals and derived words too, like [address addresses contact contacting information].
