Search Tips and Tricks

Search Strategies

Using a combination of KEYWORDS with BOOLEAN OPERATORS between them will help maximize your relevant search results. The 3 common Boolean operators are AND, OR, and NOT.

  • Example: lightning strike AND power pole

Use parenthesis to group terms together. 

  • Example: (hurricane AND power poles) OR transmission lines

Use quotes to generate searches with words grouped in exactly that order.

  • Example: "3d printing" OR "additive manufacturing"

Use * to include all derivatives of a word: 

  • Example: comp* searches for all terms: computer, computing, computation, computers

Use NOT to exclude specific terms from the search:

  • Example: alloy NOT polymer will tell the search to exclude any results that include the word "polymer"

Search Example

The following example uses the Advanced Search feature of OneSearch, which can be accessed after typing in an initial search.
