Search Tips

Any user can have a hard time searching for information by using a search engine. Even when the website is indexed correctly and everything is working, visitors sometimes have problems to find the right information. It can help to display a set of search tips on the page that contains the search element. Some search tips that help to narrow down the search results:

• A search query that contains several search terms that have to be found as a combination can be included in double quotes (“”). This will return results that contain the exact string. For example “Technical University Eindhoven” will only return results that contain this string and not just pages about ‘Technical’, ‘University’ or ‘Eindhoven’.

• Put ‘+’ in front of search terms that must be included. Especially in queries that contain multiple search terms it can occur that search results are returned that contain one of the search terms, and not all. Using the + symbol ensures that at least that search term is included.

• Put ‘—’ in front of search terms that must be excluded.

• Add the wildcard symbol ‘*’ to get search results for that search term plus all variations that start with the search term. For example when searching for ‘shop*’ there could be results that contain ‘shop’, ’shopping’, ’shops’, ’shop-a-holic’, but not ‘bishop’ or ’pawnshop’. The wildcard symbol can only be used after the search string and not before the search term. For example ‘shop*’ is allowed, ‘*shop’ is not allowed.
