1. How can I make the search engine find the exact phrase I list in the Keyword field?
    Find an exact phrase by enclosing the phrase in double quotes, e.g., "Arts Organization"
     
  2. Is the Keyword field case sensitive?
    No. You can use any combination of upper and lower case characters.
     
  3. If I use more than one keyword, do I have to use punctuation to separate them?
    No. The search engine will ignore punctuation marks like the colon (:), semi-colon (;), and period (.).
     
  4. How do I use double quotes (" ") in my search?
    You can enclose your keyword(s) in double quotes, and the search engine will locate exact keyword matches. If you choose not to enclose your keywords in double quotes the search engine will locate words related to your keyword(s), but not the exact keyword itself.

    Here are some examples of how using double quotes will affect your keyword search:

    blues guitar Will yield only opportunities with descriptions that contain the words "blues" and/or "guitar" in upper, lower, and mixed case, along with variations on those words such as "bluegrass."
    "blues guitar" Will yield only opportunities with descriptions containing the exact phrase "blues guitar," exactly as you typed it.
    "blues guitar" singer Will yield only opportunities with descriptions containing the exact phrase "blues guitar" and the word singer.
