Search Tips.
For the best search results, follow these guidelines:
Whenever possible, limit your search term to a single word which best identifies what you are seeking. For example, using the term "Milwaukee" will be more effective than using "Milwaukee, Wisconsin." This is because the search engine will only return documents which contain both words, while there may be other documents which contain "Milwaukee" but not "Wisconsin."
Other examples:
"Schlitz" is better than "Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company".
"saloons" is better than "beer drinking in saloons".
"breweriana" is better than "links to breweriana sites".
Do not use boolean terms "or" and "and" unless they are part of the term itself (as in "rock and roll"). The search engine does not interpret boolean terms; the default is "and". If you have more than one search term, enter them one-by-one in individual searches.
Whenever possible, omit unnecessary punctuation marks such as periods, commas, colons, etc. unless they are part of the term itself (such as the hyphen in "Anheuser-Busch").
As always, make sure that your search term is spelled correctly and double-check for typos before pressing the "Go" button.
When viewing the individual documents returned by the search engine, most web browsers will allow you to search for the exact place in the document where your key word appears. For example, in both Netscape and Internet Explorer, use the "Find" option located under the "Edit" menu. This option can be particularly helpful with large documents.
Happy hunting!
