Searching Guidelines
- Words containing 1 or 2 letters are ignored.
- The order of the search terms is not important.
- The search is for whole words only
- An asterisk (*) at the end of a word searches for any number of letters (including no letters) after the word.
- Terms with a + operator (the MUST CONTAIN operator) will return pages that contain the term.
- Searching for single terms without an operator implies a MUST CONTAIN (+) operator.
- If multiple search terms are defined without an operator then it implies an OR operator. The term is optional. Pages containing all the optional terms are ranked higher and are listed before the pages that do not contain all the search terms.
- If all search terms contain the exclusion operator (-) then no posts are returned.
- Otherwise, the terms with the exclusion operator (-) are excluded from the search results page after the other search terms are applied.
- Searching for a phrase (by including it in double quotes) will return the page that contains the phrase.
- A search term is highlighted when located in the text.
