Advanced Search

Option Results
with all of the words This will return documents which contain all of the words specified. For example "BGP neighbors" will return any document which has both "BGP" and "neighbors". Note: Common words are ignored by the search engine to increase the performance. If a common word is essential to getting a particular result, include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. For example, to search for information on the modem "at" commands, use "+at commands"
with the exact phrase To search for words that appear together in a particular sequence, then an exact phrase search will return documents in which the words appear together exactly as entered. For example "code red" will return only documents where those words appear together and in that order.
with at least one of the words When searching for a topic while unsure which words are commonly used, search for documents that contain at least one of the words. For example, to search for some information on encryption capabilities, entering "IPsec des" will return all documents about IPSec OR des.
without the words Sometimes a word might have meaning with more than one subject. Entering words here removes documents containing these words. For example, to find information on Firewalls, but not in PIX products, search for all of the words="Firewall" and without the words="PIX" to see documents about firewalls that don't contain the word PIX.
