How to use the search facility:

The first thing you need to do is to select which part of the site you wish to search through. If the site administrator has set everything up correctly, then the diffrent options should be properly named. If not, then the options are displayed in the same order as they appear on index.php, so you should be able to work it out.

The second thing to do is to write the query. The search engine is extremely powerful, and there are many diffrent options you can set. Some of these are:
+
     This sign needs to be added in frount of every word that MUST be included in the query
-
     This sign needs to be added in frount of every word that must NOT be included in the query
< or >
     These signs change how important a word is in the query. < means a word doesn't matter as much, > means it is of higher than normal importance
~
     This marks a word as 'negative', meaning any phrases containing it are of much lower importance than ones without it. It differentiates from using a '-', as the phrase may still be returned.
*
     Words with an asterisk in at THE END of them are marked as imcomplete, for example, rather than typing 'Electric', you could type 'Elec*', and the returned results would be the same.
" "
     Finally, quote marks are used to specify that only results which match EXACTLY what was typed between them are returned.

Other things to note One important thing to remember is that words of 3 letters, or less are ignored as 'noise', and as such are excluded from the query, unless you precede them with a +, as described above. The search facility also automatically filters out certain 'noise' words from a predefined list. These are words such as 'and', 'it', a full list is supplied at the end of this file. If, for some reason, one of these words is essential to your search, then preceding it with a +, as described above makes sure it is included.

I Hope you enjoy using the search mod.
