Search strategy:

• If you are having trouble locating the information you are looking for it is often useful to narrow your search rather than expand it. Try searching broadly at first, then adding more terms if you get too many results.
• Ensure that you are using the correct spelling for what you are looking for. This can be very specific, e.g. using hyphens where only a single word is required. Product names often have this problem.
• If your searches continue to fail, it is possible that the information you are looking for has not yet been indexed, or conversely, has been removed. Often you may find the information is available from one search engine but not another.
• If all else fails, try your query again in one of the other search engines available on the internet such as google, yahoo, msn and so forth.
