Note: Note a "*" may be used as a wildcard within a term, but not in the beginning of any word. |
Exclude Query Term |

Sometimes what you're searching for has more results than what you're willing to see.
For example, the term "green shirt " results in a variety of green shirts.
You can exclude a word from your search by putting a minus sign ("-")
immediately in front of the term you want to exclude from the search results. |
Phrase Search |
"harry potter book"
harry/potter/book
harry-potter-book
black "leather jacket" |
Search for complete phrases by enclosing them in quotation
marks or connecting them with slashes or hyphens. Words marked in this way will
appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them. Phrase
searches are especially useful when searching for famous sayings or
proper names.
