How to search:

You will find a Search form at the bottom in most IT Services web pages. Just fill in a few key words which describe what you are looking for and click the Search button.

By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have exact matches for all of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which contain any words in your search query. If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of the search results indicating this has been done.

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.

  1. + and - qualifiers
    If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
    If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page.
    Example: +always -never will yield pages that must have the word always and cannot have the word never.
  2. * wildcard
    If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
    Example: gift* yields pages with gift, gifted, gifts, etc.
  3. ? wildcard
    If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
    Example: b?g will yield pages with the words big, bog bag, etc.

All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
