phrase search
To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
Example: "sea kayak" is more refined and returns results for that phrase (both words together)

To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
Example: [sea kayak]

To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
Example: {sea kayak}

+ 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

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) OR (about AND us)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
