Improving Search Results
1. Improve your search results
- Search for a phrase, e.g., "credit note" (in quotes) instead of credit note (individual words).
- Show results from a particular area by clicking the filter icon on the search bar.
2. Create more detailed searches
By default, the search results only include topics that contain all the words or phrases that you enter. So if you enter two words, the results include topics with both words (using and), rather than topics containing either word (or).
