What Should I Search?
A good example search is:
roundup weed 2009
This example emphasizes the automatic and operation of the search engine. This search will return results matching all three substrings (roundup, weed, and 2009).
Search term order does NOT matter
Therefore:
putnam dan
will return the same results as
dan putnam
Substring matching IS supported
Therefore:
round up
will return similar results to
roundup
'and' operators are removed
Therefore:
b,a and d,c & f,e + g
will return the same results as
a b c d e f g
Notice how much simpler the second search is.
'or' operator is NOT supported
Therefore:
orloff or putnam
will return the same results as
orloff putnam
Note: this will return articles by both Putnam AND Orloff.
"Quoted text" is NOT supported
Therefore:
"dan putnam" roundup
will return the same results as
dan putnam roundup
