Search Help

To find one or more terms, type them in the search box.

Example:
router
finds results that contain the word "router"

network LAN
finds results that contain the word "network" OR the word "LAN"

To find a phrase, or terms adjacent to each other, enclose them in quotes in the search box.

Example:
"network switching"
finds results that contain the phrase "network switching"

NOTE: If you search for network switching without the quotes, you get results that contain "network" OR "switching."

To require terms to be included in search results, type a plus sign (+) before them.

Example:
+network +switching
finds results that contain both "network" AND "switching"

To exclude terms from search results, type a minus sign (-) before them.

Example:
"LAN switching" -token-ring
finds results that contain the phrase "LAN switching" but NOT the word "token-ring"

To search both singular and plural versions of a term, type them both in the search box.

Example:
network networks
finds results that contain the term "network" or the term "networks"

Search terms are case insensitive.

Example:
wired
finds results that contain the words "wired," "Wired," "WIRED," "WIRed," etc.

"Search Within" allows you to narrow you search, to give you fewer, more precise results, by adding a term to the search you just executed.

To use this feature, do a search on a term or phrase. When the search results display select "Search Within" to search only the results from your previous search.
