Search tips

To use search effectively:

  • Search for a few key words, such as update photo, rather than a full sentence, such as how do I update my photo.

    This is because search looks for all of the words in your search term, in any order. Searching for multiple words separated by spaces is the same as searching for words separated by AND, &, or +.

  • Search for an exact phrase, such as "hr department", in quotation marks instead of hr department as individual words.
  • Search for one term or the other by separating the words with OR, or |: vacation OR absence.
  • Search for one term but exclude another by separating the words with NOT, !, or ^: team NOT member.
