To effectively use the Searchalot search engine, here are some key tips and features to consider:

Choosing Keywords

• Use specific and relevant keywords. For example, if you're looking for information on Picasso, type "Picasso" instead of "painters"2.
• Make your keywords as specific as possible. For instance, "antique lead soldiers" will yield more relevant results than "old metal toys"2.

Automatic "and" Queries

• By default, Searchalot returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms. The order of terms can affect the results2.

Excluding Common Words

• The search engine ignores common words and characters unless they are essential. To include a common word, use a "+" sign before it (e.g., "+where")2.

Phrase Searches

• To search for a complete phrase, enclose the words in double quotes. For example, to search for "Star Wars, Episode I", use the exact phrase in quotes2.

Excluding Terms

• Use a minus sign (-) to exclude a term from your search. For example, to find pages about "bass" that do not contain the word "music", type "bass -music"2.

"OR" Searches

• Use the uppercase "OR" operator to retrieve pages that include either of the specified words. For example, to search for vacations in either London or Paris, type "London OR Paris"2.

Capitalization and Word Variations

• Searches are not case-sensitive, so "george washington" and "George Washington" will yield the same results2.
• The search engine does not use "stemming" or support "wildcard" searches, so it searches for the exact words you enter. If needed, try both forms of a word (e.g., "airline" and "airlines")2.

By following these guidelines, you can refine your searches and get more accurate and relevant results from Searchalot.
