Quick Tips and Examples
It's easy to search with Inktomi Search. Just type in a few words or phrases. Try to use discriminating terms that are likely to be found only in the documents you seek. The more words you give, the better results you'll get. Here are some examples:
Search by typing words and phrases.
Pentium computer with 8x CD-ROM for sale
Inktomi Search will find documents containing as many of these words and phrases as possible, ranked so that the documents most relevant to your query are presented first. Don't worry about missing a document because it doesn't have one of the words in your search -- Inktomi Search returns relevant results even if they don't contain all query terms.
Identify phrases with quotation marks, separate with commas.
Pentium computer with "8x CD-ROM", "for sale"
A phrase is entered using double quotation marks, and only matches those words which appear adjacent to each other. Separate multiple phrases or proper names with a comma.
Use UPPER case to indicate exact match.
Dan Papp, WebCT
Search terms in lowercase will match words in any case, otherwise, an exact case match is used. For example,
webct will find matches for Webct, webCT, and WebCT, whereas a query for
WebCT will only match WebCT.
