Search Help:

• Basic vs. Advanced Searches:
  Basic, or "Free Text" searches cause the system to identify the meaning of the query. Therefore, although exact matches will be returned, words or phrases with a similar meaning with also be returned.
  Advanced searches allow three options to search i.e (1) with all of the words (2) with the exact phrase and (3) with at least one of the words. Users can also enter if they want to avoid any words in search with these three combinations. User can also select number of results per page. The options are 10,20,30,50 and 100 results per page. They can sort result by the Rank (Relevance) as well as the Last Modified Date. User can select Occurance of the entered text also. The options are (1) Anywhere on the page (2) Title of the page and (3) the URL of the page.
• Ignored 'Noise' words:
  These are common words such as: a, an, and, as and others. These words will be ignored by the search engine.
• Punctuation marks:
  Punctuation marks such as: ; (semicolon), : (colon), . (full stop/period), , (comma) and others are ignored by the search engine.
• Special Characters:
  To use specially treated characters such as &, |, ^, #, @, $, (, ), in a query, enclose your query in quotation marks (“).
• Case:
  The search engine is case insensitive so the query "User Manual" will return the same results as "user manual".
• Wildcards:
  The query man* will return all documents containing "man" as part of a word, i.e. "manual", "manually" and so on.
