| Search Rules
This search engine helps you find site-building product and service information, help files, setup instructions, manuals, guides, and more. Here's how it works: you tell the search service what you're looking for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search box. The search service responds by giving you a list of all the public Web pages on our site relating to those topics. The most relevant content will appear at the top of your results.
How To Use:
- Type your keywords in the search box.
- Press the Search button to start your search.
|
Here's an example:
- Type email help in the search box.
- Press the Search button or press the Enter key.
|
| Tip: Don't worry if you find a large number of results. In fact, use more than a couple of words when searching. Even though the number of results will be large, the most relevant content will always appear at the top of the result pages. |
| More Basics - An Overview |
| What is an Index? |
| Webster's dictionary describes an "index" as a sequential arrangement of material. Our index is a large, growing, organized collection of Web pages from our websites. The 'index' becomes larger every day as we add and revise our Web pages. When you use our search service, you search the entire collection using keywords or phrases. |
| What is a Word? |
| When searching, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. The search service needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly what you want on our site. You can separate words using white space and tabs. |
| What is a Phrase? |
| You can link words and numbers together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box. |
| Example #1: To find the HTML code for the color red, type "code for the color red" in the search box. You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots. |
| Example #2: Try searching for 888-731-6635 instead of 888 731 6635. The dashes link the numbers together as a phrase. |
| Simple Tips for More Exact Searches |
| Searches are case insensitive. Searching for "Code" will match the lowercase "code" and uppercase "CODE". By default, all searches are accent insensitive as well. |
| To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box. |
| Example: To find hosting plans with Frontpage Support but without a Database, try "hosting plan +Frontpage support -database". |
| Expand your search using wildcards (*): |
| By typing an * within a keyword, you can match up to four letters. |
| Example: Try build* to find build, builds, builder, or building. |
