How can I get better search results?

You can get better results by understanding the following basics of search:
(1) Automatic "and" queries: By default, Ackee only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will affect the search results.
(2) Phrase searches: Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. Phrase searches are particularly effective if you're searching for proper names ("John Brown"), or schools ("Jamaica College").
(3) Excluding and Including words. A leading plus (+) sign indicates that this word must be present in each row that is returned. A leading minus (-) sign indicates that this word must not be present in any of the rows that are returned. (e.g. +Jamaica -College). Note: when you include a negative term in your search, be sure to include a space before the minus sign.
