Search Rules
This search engine helps you find documents
on ACA's Web site. Here's how it works:
you tell the search service what you're
looking for by typing in keywords, phrases,
or questions in the search box. The search
service responds by giving you a list of
all the Web pages in our index relating
to those topics. The most relevant content
will appear at the top of your results.
What is a phrase?
You can link words and numbers together
into phrases if you want specific words
or numbers to appear together in your result
pages. If you want to find an exact phrase,
use "double quotation marks" around
the phrase when you enter words in the search
box.
Example #1: To
find the book Camp is For the Camper,
type "camp is for the camper"
in the search box. You can also create phrases
using punctuation or special characters
such as dashes, underscore lines, commas,
slashes, or dots.
Example #2: Try
searching for 1-800-999-9999 instead of
1 800 999 9999. The dashes link the numbers
together as a phrase.
Including or
excluding words:
To make sure that a specific word is
always included in your search topic, place
the plus (+) symbol before the key word
in the search box. To make sure that a specific
word is always excluded from your search
topic, place a minus (-) sign before the
keyword in the search box.
Example: To find
recipes for cookies with oatmeal but without
raisins, try
recipe cookie +oatmeal -raisin.
Expand your
search using wildcards (*):
By typing an * at the end of a keyword,
you can search for the word with multiple
endings.
Example: Try
wish*, to find wish, wishes, wishful, wishbone,
and wishy-washy.
Simple Tips
for More Exact Searches
All searches are case insensitive and accent
insensitive. Searching for "Fur"
will match the lowercase "fur",
uppercase "FUR", and German "für".
Fancy Features
for Typical Searches
You can search more than just text.
Here are all of the other ways you can search
on the net:
| text:text |
Finds pages that contain the specified
text in any part of the page other
than an image tag, link, or URL. The
search text: cow9 would find all pages
with the term cow9 in them. |
| title:text |
Finds pages that contain the specified
word or phrase in the page title (which
appears in the title bar of most browsers).
The search title: Elvis would find
pages with Elvis in the title. |
