Tips
- Use the Search Bar more effectively:
- Place a plus sign (+) prior to each word to view each "word separately” within your search results, such as + writer + grammar + punctuation.
- Place a minus sign (-) prior to each word to “omit a word,” such as recipe-meat for a vegetarian meal.
- Use quotation marks, to view "consecutive words of a phrase," such as "flower arrangement."
Thanks - If uncertain of spelling, choose a similar word. Example: Use obituary in place of eulogy.Thanks
- Keyword implies the most specific or relevant word that describes your topic.Thanks
