Place a minus sign (-) before a word to exclude it from the search results. Example:apple -macintosh ... retrieves the word 'apple' but not 'macintosh'
Place an asterisk (*) after a word to retrieve that "root" word as well as similar words. Example:apple* ... retrieves the words 'apple', 'apples', 'applesauce', 'applet', etc.
Enclose a phrase in double quotes ("") to retrieve only records that contain this exact phrase. Example: "some words" ... retrieves 'some words of wisdom', but not 'some new words'.
