Search

Basic Search
  • From the Store Front click on any image to view all content and search for specific content for the Provider
  • Enter your search criteria in the Search field, then click on 'Search'






    General search searches the Description, Keywords and Content Name fields. The following search rules apply: 
  • BOOLEAN OPERATOR AND: More complex searches can be constructed using the Boolean operator AND, i.e. search for vacation and Hawaii would return all content that has both keywords in them. 
  • BOOLEAN OPERATOR OR: More complex searches can be constructed using theBoolean operators OR - finds all content that has at least one of the 2 keywords in them.

    Please note: AND operator has a higher precedence than OR. For example, tire handlebar or reflector is evaluated as (tire and handlebar) or reflector. Also, & and | operators can be used in place of AND and OR operators.

  • OPERATOR NOT or - : Adding a minus sign (-) in front of a keyword will exclude this word from searches,     i.e. search for vacation -hawaii would return all content that has the keyword vacation or any of its forms (vacations etc), but not the Hawaii keyword. 
  • OPERATOR + : Adding a plus sign (+) in front of a keyword will find all content with the specific keyword, but not any other forms of the word, i.e. +vacation would return all content with keyword vacation, but not vacations etc. 
  • SEARCHING FOR AN EXACT PHRASE: Use quotes to execute an exact search, i.e. "vacation Hawaii" will find all content that have a compound keyword "vacation Hawaii".
  • WILDCARD SEARCHES ALLOW FOR PARTIAL SEARCHES: Adding an asterisk (*) to the end of a search term can be used for partial searches, including searches for content names, i.e. searching for vac* will return all content that has at least 1 keyword that starts with "vac" (vacation, vacuum cleaner, etc).


    More advanced operators:
    Operator: ~vacation Result: Finds all content that has a keyword vacation or any of its synonyms. Plural forms are not being checked.
    Operator: <orange fruit> Result: Find oranges that are closely related to keyword fruit, kind of like a pseudo-composite keyword functionality.
