| Use a comma to separate several names that are linked together. |
|
| When using a phrase search use quotation marks. |
|
| When searching for words that must appear within one word of each other use hyphens. |
|
| Capitalize the first letter of each word when searching for a proper name of a person or company. |
|
| Use brackets to find words that appear within 100 word of each other. |
|
| Add a plus sign when you want to find a document that must have those two or more words in it or a minus sign to avoid certain word combinations. |

| If you want to find an image place a colon between the word image and the image topic. |
|
| Use and asterisk to find all combinations of a word or word fragment. The example edu* will locate web sites that contain education, educational, educator, and so on. |
