| • | To search for a phrase wrap the phrase in quotes. For example: "unemployment rate". |
| • | Words separated by spaces but not surrounded by quotes are assumed to be joined by "AND". For example: unemployment rates would be interpreted as "unemployment" AND "rate". |
| • | To exclude words from a search use " AND NOT". For example: unemployment AND NOT rates. Would try to locate all cases of unemployment without rate. |
