Hints for Improving Search Results

If the search results do not include the topic you wanted--or returned too many results, try the following hints:

• Try variations of key words. For example try entering Categories instead of Category.
• To limit the number of results, enter more key words. For example, instead of entering Category, enter Pay Code Reporting Category.
• To increase the number of results, enter fewer key words. For example, instead of typing Pay Code Reporting Category, enter Category.
• Try using common abbreviations. For example, instead of typing Computer Based Training, type CBT.
