To get more specific search results, try using the following tips:

Check spelling   Use multiple words Example: our free product Use similar words Example: safe secure privacy security Use appropriate capitalization Example: Search Template Reference Use quotation marks Example: "our pledge to you" Use plus (+) or minus (-) Example: +"template language"

Use field searches Examples:  title:about  desc:"Our Team"  keys:login  body:security  alt:"join now"  url:help  target:Atomz Use wildcards Examples:  wh*  "wh* are"  415-*-*

Check spelling

Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. If Sound-Alike Matching is turned on, the search engine will attempt to find words that sound similar to your search terms, but it's always best to try to spell the search terms correctly.

Use multiple words

Multiple-word queries will return more refined results than single-word ones will. For example, our free product will return more relevant results than just product. (Keep in mind that if "Any word" is selected, relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.)

Example: our free product

Use similar words

The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant your results will be.

Example: safe secure privacy security

Use appropriate capitalization

Capitalize proper nouns, and remember that lowercase words will match any case. For example, search will return all documents containing the words search, Search, and SEARCH. Typing Search, however, will instruct the search engine to look only for the capitalized word.

Example: Search Template Reference

Use quotation marks

Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent to each other, for example, "our pledge to you." Quotes should only used when the "Any word" radio button is selected. Quotes are ignored if the "All words" or "Exact phrase" radio buttons are selected. 

Example: "our pledge to you"

Use plus (+) or minus (-)

Use a plus sign when your search term or phrase must appear in the search results. Use a minus sign to indicate undesirable term(s). The plus sign tells the search engine that a certain word or phrase is required in the search results, and a minus sign indicates that a word or phrase must be absent in the search results. Plus and minus should only be used when the "Any word" radio button is selected. Plus and minus modifiers are ignored if the "All words" or "Exact phrase" radio buttons are selected. 

Note: A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave no spaces between the plus or minus sign and the term. Example: +"template language"

Use field searches

Field searches allow you to create specific searches for words that appear in a specific part of pages. A field search can be performed on body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta key words (keys:), URL (url:) or meta target key words (target:). The field name should be in lower-case and immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces between the colon and the search term.

Note: The field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases must be contained within quotation marks.

Examples:
 title:about
 desc:"Our Team"
 keys:login
 body:security
 alt:"join now"
 url:help
 target:Atomz

Use wildcards

Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The asterisk character (*) is used as the wildcard character.

For instance, searching for wh* will find the words what, why, when, whether, and any other word that starts with wh.

Searching for *her* will find the words here, whether, together, gathering, and any other word that contains her anywhere in the word.

Wildcards may be combined with the standard plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers, quotes for phrases, as well as the field search specifiers.

+wh* -se*ch will find all pages that have a word that starts with wh and does not contain a word that starts with se and ends with ch. "wh* are" will find the phrases where are, what are, why are, etc.

Examples:
 wh*
 "wh* are"
 415-*-*
