Search tips
Each term may be preceded by the standard Boolean operators NOT, AND, or OR. If you search for "consultancy NOT logistics", you'll find all documents containing the word "consultancy" except those documents which also contain the word "logistics". If you type in "AND consultancy AND lay-out AND logistics", you'll find only those documents which contain all three search terms. The default value is OR. Thus, a search for "consultancy lay-out logistics" would return pages with at least one of the three terms.

Altavista's shorthand notation works too. A search on "consultancy -logistics" is equivalent to the first example, and "+consultancy +lay-out +logistics" will return the same documents as the second.

To group a collection of words, use quotes. For example, the query "qualified consultants" (quotes included) would not generate a hit from "our consultants are very qualified". Without quotes, the sentence would count.

To perform a string search, preface your term with the dollar sign. A query on "$proces" would find all words that include the string "proces".
