Sparrow Search Tips:

• Combining terms:
  • AND: Looks for Sparrow web pages containing BOTH terms;  i.e. 'baby AND women' will list the "Special Care During Pregnancy" page first, but a search on "baby" will list the "Baby Online" page first.
  • OR: Looks for Sparrow web pages containing EITHER term;  i.e. 'human resources OR jobs' will find any page that mentions one of those terms; the search phrase does not have to mention them both.
  • NOT: Looks for Sparrow web pages containing the first term, but if they also contain the second, they will be rejected;  i.e. 'healthy recipes NOT burgers' will not display any page with the word 'burgers' on it, even if it does contain the phrase 'healthy recipes'.
  • NEAR: Requires that BOTH words appear in the document; in addition, both words must appear in close proximity to each other.

• Phrase searching: enclose the phrase in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase; i.e. "gift shop".
• Free text searching: Check the box to ask a conversational question (Where is the Children's Miracle Network?);  do not enclose the phrase in quotation marks.
