Phrases

Type a short phrase or question describing what you want to know. Multi-word phrases will produce better search results as will searches containing more uncommon words. Very common words and phrases are ignored by the search engine. You may also require (+) or exclude (-) words described below.

Example: To ask the question, "How can I learn more about forest wildfires?" - type either forest wildfires, or the entire sentence.

Similar Phrases

Use this technique if you do not know the exact spelling of a word or phrase or to check for synonyms or similarly spelled words. You may also require (+) or exclude words (-) described below.

Example: A search for "What do I do when my house is on fire?" will find documents containing similar words or phrases such as house or abode, flame or fire.

Exact Phrase

Use this technique to find documents that match the same pattern of words entered in the text box. Very common words and phrases are ignored by the search engine. This search type does not support the use of require (+) or exclude (-) words.

Example: A search for "birds of prey", will find documents that contain birds, prey, or bird prey, but not prey birds or birds capturing prey.
