The following are a few instructions on how to get the most out of the search system when searching for content in the Bariatric Partners site.

Our websitesearch supports basic Boolean capability (AND, OR). If you enter one or more words WITHOUT the AND or OR statements, the search will look for all of the words just as if each word was separated by an OR. To match an exact phrase, enclose the search words with quotation marks. For example, if you enter "Golf Courses" then only pages containing that EXACT phrase will be selected.

However, you can improve your search by using the Boolean operators. For example, by entering "Email AND Spam Laws", the search will find pages containing BOTH of these words even if the words are not together on the paragraph.

On the other hand, by entering "Email OR Spam Laws", the search will find any pages containing EITHER of the words.

As a general rule, if you want fewer results use "AND"; if you want more results use "OR". Also, the search engine will detect the use of plurals so that the words "email" and "emails" will return the same results. However differnt word versions such as "opt-in" and "opt in" are treated seperately.
