Tips for improving search results
-
Pay attention to the order in which the words or phrases are typed; this will affect the search results.
- To find a document when you are unsure of the spelling or term: Add an asterisk * to the search word (e.g. gov* - this will produce results containing government, governing).
- To find a specific phrase: Type the exact phrase in double quotes (e.g. 'protective services').
- To find a document that contains any combination of several words: Type each word and separate them with 'AND'. (e.g. foster AND children).
- To find a document which contains a specific word or phrase, and which also excludes a specific word or phrase: Type the required words or phrase and separate them with 'NOT' (e.g. mother NOT mum).
- To find a document that contains either one of two specific words: Type each word and separate them with 'OR'. (e.g. mother OR mum).
- To refine your search further: Combine any of the search functions.
