Tips for using Search.Blossom

• The case of letters doesn't matter
  All searches are case insensitive. This means you don't have to know whether a word is capitalized or not, or whether it is a title in all caps. For example, searching for "help" will match both "help" and "Help".

• Each word longer than two letters is treated as a prefix
  A word on a Web page will match your search string if it begins with the same letters. Thus, "bread" matches "bread", "breads", "breaded", "breading", and "breadth". (If you check the "Only match whole words" checkbox, then the whole word must match your string--that is, "bread" will only match "bread".)

• Words in a phrase must be near one another
  When you enter more than one word to search for, Web pages will be selected only if all the words you enter appear close to one another, typically in the same sentence or paragraph. If you surround the phrase with quotes ("..."), then it will only match pages where the words are next to one another.

• The order of words in a phrase doesn't matter
  If you enter more than one word, they will match a Web page if the same words appear near one another in any order. For example, "Mount Everest" will match "Mount Everest", "Everest Mountain", and "that awesome mountain, the great Everest".

• Common words and numbers are ignored
  Some words appear so commonly on website pages that Search.Blossom ignores them.
