Search 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.

Phrase search

• The search engine supports three types of phrase search. To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase Example: "Swedish church records" • To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words] Example: [Swedish church records] • To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words } Example: {Swedish church records}

+ 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 or +soldier +uniform

* 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: gift*

? wildcard

• If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position. Example: b?g • Example: ?arlsson . Will match both Karlsson as well as Carlsson

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 If you are searching on several words you might want to use parenthesis. Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us) All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
