Search Tips
• Use quotation marks for phrases– Search [ “mobile equipment” ]
or [ “mobile equipment” insurance ]
or (better) [ insurance “mobile equipment” ]– NOT [ mobile equipment ]
• Start narrow: enter 6 to 8 keywords or phrases, then eliminate some if you don’t get enough hits.

Search Tips (continued)
• Size doesn’t matter.– Most search engines are case insensitive.
• Use nouns or objects.– Conjunctions (and, or), modifiers (adjectives,
adverbs), and verbs are often ignored or useless.
• Always place main or unique subject first (insurance).
