Search Tips:
There are a few special characters that you can use to provide more specific search criteria. Click on a character to learn how you can use it to enhance your searches.

Special Characters
+ (plus sign)
A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in each row that is returned.
Example: +apple +juice
Find records that contain both the words apple and juice.
- (minus sign)
A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any of the rows that are returned.
Note: The - operator acts only to exclude rows that are otherwise matched by other search terms. Thus, a boolean-mode search that contains only terms preceded by - returns an empty result. It does not return "all rows except those containing any of the excluded terms."
Example: +apple -juice
Find records that contain the word apple but not the word juice.
* (asterisk)
The asterisk serves as the truncation (or wildcard) operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word to be affected. Words match if they begin with the word preceding the * operator.
Example: apple*
Find rows that contain words such as "apple", "apples", "applesauce", or "applet".
() (parentheses)
Parentheses group words into subexpressions. Parenthesized groups can be nested.
Example: +apple -(sauce dumpling)
Find rows that contain the word "apple", but not the words "sauce" or "dumpling".
"" (double quotes)
A phrase that is enclosed within double quote (") characters matches only rows that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed. When words are NOT in quotes, each word is searched for independently.
Example: "apple pie"
Find rows that contain the phrase "apple pie".
