Capitalize proper nouns, and remember that lower-case
words will match any case. For example, typing 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.

Use quotation marks to find words which must appear adjacent
to each other, for example, "our pledge to you."
Otherwise, the search results will include the word our,
pledge, to, and the word you, but not necessarily in that
order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order,
within the document.
if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons
for "any," "all," and "phrase,"
then quotes can only be used when the "any"
radio button is selected. Quotes are ignored if the "all"
or "phrase" radio buttons are selected.

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.
A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave
no spaces between the plus or minus sign and the term.
if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons
for "any," "all," and "phrase,"
then plus and minus can only be used when the "any"
radio button is selected. Plus and minus are ignored if
the "all" or "phrase" radio buttons
are selected.

Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for
a particular request. The * 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 which have a word that
starts with wh and which 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.
