- Use quotation marks around phrases:
Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent to
each other within a phrase. For example, search for "Honey
Bee" within quotes rather than just Honey Bee
.
|
- Check spelling:
Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. The search
engine will attempt to find words that sound similar to your
search terms, but it is always best to spell the search terms
correctly.
|
- Use multiple words:
Use multiple words when performing your search. Using more words
for a search will return more results than a search from a single
word. For example, to find out about swarming, try Swarm
Nasanov Scout .
|
- Use similar words:
Use several synonyms or closely related words. Using several
synonyms will increase the likelihood of finding the information
you want.
|
- Use appropriate capitalization:
Use capitalization when looking for proper nouns such as the
name of a person or place. Lowercase words will match any words
of any case.
|
- Use Boolean plus (+) or minus (-)
operators:
Precede a search term or phrase with a plus (+) sign to indicate
it must appear in a search result. Precede a search term with
a minus (-) sign to indicate an undesirable search term or phrase
that must not appear in a search result. For example, searching
for +honey -bee will return results that are
about honey, but not about bee.
