Maximizing Search

The search applet splits up your search text in its individual words (separated by space, comma, colon or semi-colon characters). It removes any non-alphanumeric characters from the beginning and end of each word, and - if present - removes 's from the end of the word.


Simplest search

In the simplest case, Search displays a list of pages that contain all the words you entered. The words may be at any place in the page. a
