Guide to Beadwork Search Engine Help
Back to the Search Page - Guide Beadwork Homepage
- There are no global characters. All characters (including quotes) are searched for literally (e.g. facilitat will find pages with facilitation, facilitator, etc.) so always type in exactly what you are looking for with no quotes nor pluses nor minuses. Separate your keywords with spaces. For best results, avoid special characters and punctuation as much as possible.
- You can't search on multi-word phrases. Keywords are always treated separately. They are either all AND'ed (only pages with all of the keywords listed are returned) or all OR'ed (all pages with any one or more of the keywords listed are returned) depending on which Boolean option you select.
- Results are unranked. (e.g. the last entry in the returned list is not necessarily better nor worse than the first.) This keeps things fast and simple. If too many pages are returned, try narrowing your search by adding more keywords and setting the Boolean option to AND. Do the opposite if too few or no pages are found.
