Some search tips to help you get the best results
- Make sure that your search terms are spelled correctly.
- Use phrases. The search will return more refined results from a phrase than from a single word. To search for an exact phrase, place double quotation marks around the search term, e.g. "Crofting Commission".
- Add + (plus sign) in front of words or phrases that you particularly want to appear in results.
- Add - (minus sign) in front of words or phrases that you would prefer not to appear in results.
- Boolean searches. By default, all search terms are combined with AND. Using AND or OR only affects the words adjacent to the Boolean operator, so cats dogs OR llamas searches for (cats AND (dogs OR llamas)). You may find it simpler to run separate searches, e.g. cats dogs and cats llamas.
- By default, search terms are not case sensitive.
