• You can use special terms to narrow your search:
  • AND - as in 'Public AND Federation'
  • OR - as in 'Public OR Community'

• Either in same Document - this is the default. If either word exists in a document, the document is returned, ranked by relevancy.
• All in same Document - all words must appear in the same document.
• All in same Paragraph - all words must appear in the same paragraph.
