You can customize your searches with these techniques:
- Searching for the start of a word
- Searching for a part of a word
- Searching for a phrase
- Searching for multiple alternative words
Searching for the start of a word
To search for words that start with a letter or letters, enter the first 1-3 letters of the word. If you enter only one letter, words that start with that letter are returned. If you enter two or three letters, words that start with those letters
are prioritized over the words that contain those letters. For example, if you search for i, you get results like initial and infinite, but not definite. If you search for in,
you also get results that contain definite ranked lower in the results list.
Searching for a part of a word
To search for partial word matches, include more than 3 letters. For example, if you search for conn, you might get results like connection and disconnect.
Only the first 12 characters in a word are used in the search. Any search terms that you enter that are longer than 12 characters are truncated to the first 12 characters.
Searches for partial words don't work in the description fields.
Searching for a phrase
To search for a specific phrase, surround the phrase with double quotation marks. For example, if you search for "customer data", your results contain exactly that phrase.
You can include a quoted phrase within a longer search string. For example, if you search for credit card "customer data", you might get results that contain credit card, credit, card,
and customer data.
When you search for a phrase in English, natural language analysis optimizes the search results in the following ways:
- Words that are not important to the search intent are removed from the search query.
- Phrases in the search string that are common in English are automatically ranked higher than results for individual words.
For example, if you search for find credit card interest in United States, you might get the following results:
- Matches for
credit card interestandUnited Statesare prioritized. - Matches for
credit,card,interest,United, andStatesare returned. - Matches for
inare not returned.
Searching for multiple alternative words
To find results that contain any of your search terms, enter multiple words. For example, if you search for machine learning, the results contain the word machine, the word learning, or both words.
