Help With Search
Our search engine (both the basic search on every page on the site, and the advanced search section) works according to the following rules:
STEMMING / PLURALS
By default, the search engine will look only for the exact term you specify. A search for "star" will only look for the word "star" and NOT the words "stars", "starring", etc. To look for all variations of a given term, use wildcards (see below).

AND vs. OR QUERIES
By default, your queries will be ANDed; thus, if you type in multiple words (separated by spaces), your search will return items that contain ALL of the words. If you wish to use an "or" query instead, use the operator OR. Examples:

YOU ENTER RESULTS
star wars will search for "star" and "wars" (both words must be in the document)
star OR wars will search for documents that contain "star" and/or "wars" (only one of the two must be in the document)

EXACT PHRASES
Use quotation marks to search for exact phrases. Examples:

YOU ENTER RESULTS
star wars will search for "star" and "wars" (both words must be in the document, but not necessarily next to each other)
"star wars" will search for the exact phrase "star wars" (both words must be next to each other in that order)

WILDCARDS
The search engine supports the use of two wildcard characters: the asterisk (*) stands for multiple characters, while the question mark (?) represents one single character. Examples:

YOU ENTER RESULTS
f*o will return "foo", "fido", "fabio", "flo", etc.
f?o will return "foo" and "flo"
foo* will return "foo", "foot", "fool", "football", "fool in love", etc.
foo? will return "foo", "foot", and "fool"
*oo NOT SUPPORTED (you may not use a wildcard as your first character)

EXCLUDING WORDS
Use the minus sign (-) next to a term (without any spaces) to exclude documents containing that term. Example:

YOU ENTER RESULTS
star -wars would return "A Star Is Born" and "Star Maps" but NOT "Star Wars"
CAPITALIZATION
Searches are NOT case sensitive. Thus searching for "star wars" and "STAR WARS" will yield the same results.
