Example: "audit files"
Without quotation marks, any page containing the words "audit" OR "files" will appear in results.
When surrounded by quotation marks, the words are treated as a phrase and only pages with the exact phrase "audit files" will appear in results. This is the most powerful query refinement technique.
Example: audit files +system -withdrawn
You can require that the word "system" be in any documents in the results list by placing a plus (+) sign before it.
You can reject words with the minus (-) sign.
In the example, no documents with the word “withdrawn" will appear on the results page unless a search engine is programmed to make them appear above the regular results list.
Example: Maritime Awareness Global Network (MAGNET) System
All titles have been entered into the repository using capital letters. By capitalizing letters in your search, you can increase the relevance of your search results.
Example: audit files +"Internal Revenue Service" +system
By combining phrases with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, and capitalizing where it's appropriate, you can increase the relevance of search results.
Example: Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Avoid using acronyms for instance: IRS for Internal Revenue Service can be mistaken for another acronym such as IRS-CI and effect search results.
