Search Tips and Advice

On any of the pages displaying a Search Box, enter into the box a key word or words pertaining to the subject desired to be located. Words that are specific and spelled correctly will return the best results. Words that are general may return many results.

General Search Tips

•	To ensure better search results, make sure you have spelled your word correctly.

•	If you are unsure of the spelling of a word, enter the beginning letters only. The results will deliver words beginning with the letters entered. As an example, to find zucchini, enter the letters zuc and the Search will provide zucchini as one of the results.

•	Searching on parts of words will generally locate a word, however the search may also find many other words with similar letters that are not desired. An example could be the use of the first 3 letters of a word, such as FRE which will result in finding words such as FREE, FRESH, FREEDOM, FRENCH, FRESHNESS, and others, many of which may not be desired. Thus, it is always best to be as specific as possible.

•	Use spacing between 2 or more words to ensure an accurate reult with your search. Spelling several words without spacing, such as babybackribs will result in poor search results. Enter baby back ribs with spaces between the words for best results.

•	Quotation marks around words will not assist with the search results.

•	The search engines are not case sensitive so words can be entered with or without capitalization.

•	Content specific search engines are available on this site so a viewer can select the content topic on which to conduct a search, such as the Entire Site, Kitchen, Glossary, Knowledge. If "Entire Site" is selected for the search, then the search engine will look throughout the entire site for any reference to the keyword(s) entered in the Search Box. However, to refine the search in order to select the most relevant content pertaining to the term entered, select the appropriate Search engine for the keyword(s).

•	Use specific keywords, not an entire sentence with a question. Specific keywords such as cooking temperature rather than what termperature do I use to cook a ham will provide a more specific search result taking you to the cooking charts rather than showing you all articles with temperature, cook and ham.
