Including or excluding words:
To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box.

Example: To find training on safety procedures but not related to insurance, try training +safety  -insurance.

By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings.

Example: Try cylinder*, to find cylinder and cylinders.
