Basic Search Tips to Make Effective Web Search

Save your time and effort by using search features available on Fox88 to get the most relevant results in effective way.

Function / Rule	Explanation
Multiple search terms	Use multiple search terms to narrow down to get more specific search results.
Capital letters	No use in the search terms. All letters are treated as lower case. Example: 'Web Hosting' and 'web hosting' will produce the same result.
Common words exclusion	Common words, common characters and single digit/letter such as 'where', 'how', 'I', '5' etc. s are ignored in the query process as they only slow down the process without improving the search result. If such common word or character is required, add a plus sign (+) in front of it to include it in the search result. Example: 'world war +I'.
Word variations	Stemming technology currently used will make the engine also search similar or related words of the typed search terms when appropriate.
Use of phrase searching	For more specific results, use exact phrase searching by enclosing the search terms with quotes. Example "free web hosting".
Negative terms	Use minus sign (-) to exclude the related meaning of the search term from the query result. Example: '-used cars' will exclude all used cars from the search results.
Synonym search	Use tilde (~) character immediately in front of your search terms to include synonym search. Example: '~food' will also search for nutrition and cooking besides food.
'OR' searches	To find pages that include either of two search terms, add an uppercase OR between the terms. Example: 'hotel london OR paris'
