3. RMS blog search basics and help tips:
Search is simple: just type whatever comes to mind in the search box on top right or Search box on the right side of the blog, hit Enter or click on the Search button, and Google will search the blog for articles/ pages that are relevant to your query.
Most of the time you'll find exactly what you were looking for with just a basic query. However the following tips can help you refine your technique to make the most of your searches.
Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used. There are some exceptions.
Search is always case insensitive. Searching for (armed forces) is the same as searching for (Armed Forces). With some exceptions, punctuation is ignored (that is, you can't search for @#$%^&*()=+[]\ and other special characters).
Keep it simple. If you're looking for a particular subject, just enter its name, or as much of its name as you can recall. If you're looking for a particular concept, place, or author, start with its name. If you're looking for a military campaign, just enter the name like Indo Pak War. Most queries do not require advanced operators or unusual syntax. Simple is good.
Think how the page you are looking for will be written. A search engine is not a human, it is a program that matches the words you give to pages on the blog. Use the words that are most likely to appear on the blog.
Describe what you need with as few terms as possible. The goal of each word in a query is to focus it further. Since all words are used, each additional word limits the results. If you limit too much, you will miss a lot of useful information. The main advantage to starting with fewer keywords is that, if you don't get what you need, the results will likely give you a good indication of what additional words are needed to refine your results on the next search.
Choose descriptive words. The more unique the word is the more likely you are to get relevant results. Words that are not very descriptive, are usually not needed. Keep in mind, however, that even if the word has the correct meaning but it is not the one most people use, it may not match the pages you need. For example, (echs cell) is more descriptive and specific than (echs).
