# Search tips

To search for information in the Help, enter a word or phrase in the Search box.

When you enter a group of words, the AND operator is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search. Results returned are case insensitive.

Words and phrases

Search for | Example | Results
--- | --- | ---
A single word | `cat` | Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase | `"cat food"` (quotation marks) | Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food". Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an AND operator, which finds topics with both of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Using Boolean operators

Search for | Operator | Example
--- | --- | ---
Two or more words in the same topic | `AND` / `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand) | `cat AND dog` `"cat food" + milk` `"cat food" & "dog food"`
Either word in a topic | `OR` / `or` `|` (pipe) | `cat OR dog` `cat | dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | `NOT` / `not` `!` (exclamation point) `^` (caret) | `cat NOT dog` `cat ! dog` `cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types | `( )` parentheses | `cat + (dog OR mouse)`
