Notes for keyword searching

Use keywords, not phrases

Avoid using words such as “or, an, a, of” which are common and not searched

Try alternative words: blogs, facebook, twitter, texting, etc.

An * after a word searches for the root word + any letters that follow, e.g.: network* will search for networks, networking, networked, etc.

Social network* will give more results than social networks
