standard search

Simply enter keywords into search field and hit return, or click the search button.

quotation marks

Using quotes allows you to search for combined words, or phrases e.g. "software sales", "project manager"

boolean search

Allows the use of Boolean logic to build a search string:

  • NOT - results must not include whatever follows the NOT. e.g. manager not sales
  • AND - results must include the words before and after the AND. e.g. HTML and ASP.NET
  • OR - results must include one of the words either side of the OR e.g. Bristol or Bath
  • Brackets - allow the order of precedence of the above terms to be changed
  • * (wild cards) - allow any word that includes the letters attached to the wild card symbol e.g. dev* for developer, developers, development or developing multiple terms - can be included in a search string e.g. manager or director not sales

math search

Allows the use of basic maths symbols to build up a search string:

  • + (plus) - the search results must have the word that follows e.g. Bristol + Bath
  • - (minus) - the search results must not have the word that follows e.g. manager - sales
  • . (dot) - can be used to indicate a word is desirable but not essential
