SEARCH HELP
To Search, simply enter a word or phrase in the search box and click on the Search button (or hit Enter).
- You can enter a single search term, or multi-term searches ("flower garden" matches "flower" or "garden"), terms are connected by a logical OR.
- Use "+" for required search terms ("flower +garden" must match "garden" and can include "flower" - "+flower +garden" is the equivalent of "flower" AND "garden").
- Use "-" for search terms to be excluded ("flower -garden" can include "flower" but not "garden").
- Use"*" as a wildcard ("snow d*g" matches "snow" or "dog" or "dig" or "dung" etc.).
