Site Search Help Tips Number of search results returned By default a search will return the top 10 results. You can choose to limit your search results by changing the drop-down value at the top of the search results page. Search Tips Look for words with the same prefix. Example - type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on. Search for all forms of a word. Example - type sink** to find sink, sinking, sank, and sunk. Search with the keyword NEAR, rather than AND, for words close to each other. Example - type health AND rights or health NEAR rights, to look for the words health and rights on the same page. But with NEAR, the returned pages are ranked in order of proximity: The closer together the words are, the higher the rank of that page. Put quotation marks around keywords if you want Index Server to take them literally. Example - type the following query: "health near rights" Index Server will literally look for the complete phrase 'health near rights'. But if you type the same query without the quotation marks: health near rights Index Server searches all documents for the words health and rights on the same page. This search would also include all occurrences of the phrase health and rights. Refine your queries with the AND NOT keywords to exclude certain text. Example - type surfing AND NOT the Net, to find all instances of surfing but not surfing the Net. Using Free Text Queries If you want to enter queries using natural language. The Index Server will examine your query, extract nouns and noun phrases and construct a query for you. With free text queries you can enter any text you want, from a proper question, to a string of words and phrases, without worrying about the query language. For example, if you type in the following query: "What are privacy rights?" Index Server will create a query for you automatically and begin the search. Note that when you're using free text queries, the regular query language features are disabled and keywords such as AND, OR, and NEAR are interpreted as normal words.
