If you are having trouble locating something specific, these search tips may help.

phrase search

Google supports three types of phrase search.

1. To match an exact phrase, put quotation marks around the phrase
— for example: “jon atack paintings”

2. To match a near phrase to within a couple of words, put square brackets around the words
— for example: [jon atack paintings]

To match a far phrase to within a couple of words, put braces around the words
— for example: {jon atack paintings}

+ and - qualifiers

If you prepend a word with a + symbol, that word is required to be on the page. Conversely, if you prepend a word with a - symbol, that word is required to not be on the page.
— for example: +always -never

* wildcard

If a query word ends with a * symbol, the search will look for all words on a page which start the same way as that query word.
— for example: paint*

? wildcard

If a query word contains a ? symbol, this symbol will be substituted for any single character.
— for example: j?n

boolean search

You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
— for example: (oil AND paintings) OR (watercolour AND paintings)
