Getting too many search results?
-
Be more specific. Use the most precise information that you know about the product.
Some examples include:- ISBN Number
- Manufacturer's Item Number
- The Catalog Item Number
- Remove non-essential words from your search. Entering too many common words can return unrelated search results.
Not getting enough (or any) search results?
-
Broaden your search results by using a general search topic.
Some examples include:- The Book's Author
- The Book's Publisher
- The Product's Manufacturer
General Hints:
- Check your Spelling: One of the most common mistakes searching is to misspell your query. If you get too few or unexpected results, check to make sure everything is spelled correctly, or try alternate ways of spelling your words (e.g. Scale Master vs., Scalemaster).
- Use Synonyms: Sometimes using different words (or more common terms that mean the same thing) can vastly improve your results. For example, you may see better results searching for the keyword "hygrometer" rather than "humidity meter" or "NEC" rather than "National Electric Code".
