- All words within each search field are also ANDed together
- Do not use characters such as ",',+ to attempt to enhance your search criteria. All such characters would be looked at literally and could actually hinder your searching.
- Partial word searches such as 'Oi' for 'Oil' only work starting from the beginning of the word. Index Server is incapable of finding 'Broil' from 'oil'.
