Search Tips

Boolean Searches

AND: Use between each word when you want your search results to include all of the words you enter. So Main AND Street will return only items that include both the word "main" and the word "street."

OR: Use between each word when you want your search results to include any of the words you enter. So Main OR Street will return all items that include either the word "main" or the word "street" (or that include both words).

NOT: Use before words that you do not want to have included in your search results. So Main NOT Street will return only items that include the word "main" but not the word "street."
