Search Tips

Often, when we use search functions, they return the wrong information, too few or too many references. To solve this you can use the Advanced Search or follow these easy to use guides:
  • Search on the phrase Trail Ridge Road and the search function will return every page that contains the words Trail, Ridge and Road. On this site, 80 pages were returned!

  • You can narrow the search by placing the phrase in quotation marks or use the plus sign. Searching on "Trail Ridge Road" or Trail+Ridge+Road narrows the search to 33 pages the contain the exact phase.

  • The minus sign is useful if you want to eliminate words from the search. Searching on "Trail Ridge Road"-Rainbow return 29 pages as it eliminates all reference to Rainbow Curves, a stop on Trail Ridge Road.

Advanced search can accomplish the same filtering by using options on the advanced search page. The "Sound-alike matching" function is a favorite of mine as I often have trouble spelling words correctly and near matches often find the information I need.

Advanced search will also allow you search selected parts of the pages, add additional filtering based the date a page was last modified, display the results without summaries, and sort the results by relevant (score) or date.

The last index of this site index 213 pages containing 60330 words for a total of 1298453 bytes. 12887 word endings, 0 synonyms, and 8138 sound-alike words were included in the index.

Hope this helps you enjoy my Rocky site — Karl Snyder.
