Search Tips
Keep it simple
The simpler your wording, the easier it will be for the search engine to understand and find your term.
Spelling
Your search may have failed because of a simple typing or spelling error. Double-check your spelling before clicking the search button.
Be Specific
The words you type in to search for information is called a query. You can use just a word or a phrase. Don’t be too general. If there are other words related to your search, add them. Placing a phrase or expression between parentheses or quotation marks will also make your query work better for you. Example: (Famous Australians) or “Famous Australians”.
