The Magna Publications, Inc. search engine uses most of the standard search techniques. Some of the most common that you might be interested in using are... Typing "apple" or "sun" will find items with those exact words in sequence. If you enter network -phone, that tells the search engine to include the word network but not phone. Don't forget - there's no space after the minus sign (e.g. -phone). By typing an * (asterisk symbol) at the end of a word, you can search for items with multiple endings. For example: Microsoft W* would return items such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, etc. |
