Searching from the Home Page

You can search all SAS content from the menu bar on the home page. The following types of searches are supported:
  • single-word
  • multiple-word
  • in-word wildcards
  • spaces in quoted strings
  • plus (+) and minus (-) syntax
    The plus (+) and minus (-) are prefix operators. This means that the operator precedes the search term that is required or excluded rather than following it. For example:
    • Using "2009 2010 2011" matches documents that contain any of the three terms. The more terms that match, then the higher the ranking.
    • Using "+2009 +2010 +2011" matches only documents that contain all three terms.
    • Using "2009 2010 -2011" matches documents that contain 2009 or 2010 but only if they do not contain 2011.
The search feature is not case sensitive.
Only 1000 items can be returned in a single search. If your search exceeds 1000 items, then a message is displayed at the top of the window. Narrowing your search enables the relevant search results to display.
