- Exact Phrase Matching - enclosing terms in quotes allows you to search for words in a specific order as they appear on a page as opposed to treating them as multiple keywords (e.g., a search for "attendant console" (with double quotes) will not match "console attendant" or "console something attendant")
- Exclusion/negative searches - precede a search term with a hyphen character to exclude that search term from being included in your search results. For example, a search for "DHCP -VLAN" would return all topics containing the word "DHCP" but not the word "VLAN".
- * Wildcard - an asterisk (*) matches any number of characters. That means that you can use it as a placeholder for any sequence of letters or symbols. For example, if you enter blueb* you'll get all the terms that start with "blueb"; if you enter *bird you'll get all the terms that end with "bird"; if you enter *lueb* you'll get all the terms that contain the sequence "lueb", and so forth.
- ? Wildcard - the question mark (?) matches exactly one character. That means that you can use it as a placeholder for a single letter or symbol. The query M?t?l, for example, will find the word "Mitel" and "Motel".
