Tips
- Use the Search Bar more effectively:
- Place a plus sign (+) prior to each word to view each "word separately” within your search results, such as + writer + grammar + punctuation.
- Place a minus sign (-) prior to each word to “omit a word,” such as recipe-meat for a vegetarian meal.
- Use quotation marks, to view "consecutive words of a phrase," such as "flower arrangement."
- If uncertain of spelling, choose a similar word. Example: Use obituary in place of eulogy.
- Keyword implies the most specific or relevant word that describes your topic.
- To access greater information, add a prefix or suffix to a word. Example: Use writer in place of write.
- If uncertain of a category, choose one with a similar item. Example: Soup and dining would be found in the food category.
- Utilize the terms wikiHow or User for policies or guidelines specific to this site.
- Use Special:Search to perform advanced searches, such as filtering by namespace.
