The expressions in parentheses are evaluated before the rest of the query. Use double quotes (") to indicate that a boolean or near operator keyword should be ignored in your query. For example, "Abbot and Costello" will match pages with the phrase, not pages that match the boolean expression. The Near operator returns a match if the words are within 50 words of each other. The Not operator can only be used after an And operator in content queries; it can only be used to exclude pages that match a previous content restriction. For property value queries, the Not operator can be used apart from the And operator Wildcard Operators Wildcard operators are useful for finding pages with words similar to a given word.  To search for Example  Results words with the same prefix comput*  pages with words that have the prefix "comput", such as "computer", computing", and so on.  words based on the same stem word fly**  pages with words based on the same stem as "fly", such as "flying", "flown", "flew", and so on.  Miscellaneous Tips on Query Syntax Queries are case-insensitive: you can type your query in uppercase or lowercase. You may search for any word except for those in the exception list (for English, this includes a, an, and, as, and other common words) which are ignored during a search. Words in the exception list are treated as placeholders in phrase and proximity queries. Punctuation marks such as the period (.), colon (:), semicolon (;), and comma (,) are ignored during a search. To use specially-treated characters ( (&), (|), (^), (#), (@), ($), ((), ()) ) in a query, enclose your query in quotes ("). Email Forms Email forms allow everyone to send email messages to the company, even if an email program is not installed on your computer. The Email form guides the user thru creating a email message to specific company departments and company personal. It also makes sure that all of the necessary information that is needed to expedite your request or comment is provided. ASP Form Mailer Is very much like the Email form but requires you to enter less info. Using the "Send To Drop down selector" you can select whom you want to send the message to.
