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.
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}
