WEBSITE SEARCH FEATURE

You may manually browse each page of the HCC site by using any of the links in the left side menu. Or you may use the SEARCH box to bring up related pages about what you are looking for. 

Example : if you are looking for a cowboy garter, type in "Western". 
You may type in more than one word at a time.

HINT: Don't use the word "garter" or "garters" in your search
it will bring up  way too many pages.  ;)

Detailed tips:

By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have exact matches for all of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which contain any words in your search query. If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of the search results indicating this has been done.

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.

+ and - qualifiers
If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page.
Example: +always -never


* wildcard
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
Example: Camo*  would give you results for   Camo AND  Camouflage.


? wildcard
If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
Example: b?g would give you results for   big, bag, bug, beg, etc...


boolean search
You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*

phrase search
The search engine supports three types of phrase search.  To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase Example: "Firefighter's Romance "

To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
Example: [Policeman's pride]

To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
Example: {Policeman's Pride}
