To
perform a search, type what you are looking for into
the search box.
Do
not use capitalization
Use lowercase words. They will match any case. For example, typing value will
return all documents containing the words value, Value, and VALUE.
However, typing Value will only locate pages containing the word Value and
not the pages containing either value or VALUE.
The
AOA search application does not recognize the Boolean
operators AND, OR and NOT but instead employs a
simplified search syntax based upon the plus (+)
and minus (-) operators. Please consult the table
