Search tips:
By default, the search engine tries to locate pages which
have exact matches for all of the words entered in your
search query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which
contain any words in your search query.
If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of
the search results indicating this has been done.
In addition, there are several ways to modify the default
search behavior.
Phrase search
•
The search engine supports three types of phrase
search.
To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the
phrase
Example: "Swedish church records"
•
To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use
square brackets [around the words]
Example: [Swedish church records]
•
To match a far (within several words) phrase, use
braces { around the words }
Example: {Swedish church records}
+ and - qualifiers
•
If you prepend a word with + that word is required to
be on the page.
If you prepend a word with - that word is required to
not be on the page.
Example: +always -never or +soldier +uniform
* wildcard
•
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page
which start the same way as that query word will
match.
Example: gift*
? wildcard
•
If a query word contains a ? any character will match
that position.
Example: b?g
•
Example: ?arlsson . Will match both Karlsson as well
as Carlsson
Boolean search
•
You can use the following boolean operators in your
search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in
capital letters.
Example: contact AND us
If you are searching on several words you might want
to use parenthesis.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
