Help with searching

Is search case-sensitive?
Does search check my spelling?
Can I search for a phrase?

Are Boolean searching and wildcards allowed?

What do I do if I get a message saying, "No results were found for your query"?
There are a few reasons why you could have received this message:
- Your word may be misspelled and the search engine can't find a substitute for it. For example, if you had typed in "metakare" when you meant "medicare", the search engine won't be able to recognize it.
- The information you are looking for may not be available on this website.
What types of files are searched?
- Web pages (.html, .htm, .jsp)
- Adobe Acrobat PDF (.pdf)
- Microsoft Excel (.xls)
- Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt)
- Microsoft Word (.doc)
- Plain text (.txt)

If you have questions or comments, please contact the Appeals Division at 651-431-3600.

Boolean Operator	Description
OR	Use 'OR' when you require only one of the search words to appear in the results. Example: "city OR county"
NOT or -	Use 'NOT' or '-' when you do not want to exclude results that contain a particular term. Examples: "economic development NOT support" or " economic development -support "
*	Use '' as a wildcard to search on all words that contain the letters you enter. You must enter a minimum of three letters plus the '' character. Example: "employ*" would find "employ" or "employer" or "employee"
+	Use '+' when you require the exact word to appear in all of the results. For multiple words, you must use put a + sign in front of each word that must be exact. Example: search on "+lipitor cholesterol" if you only want to retrieve results with the brand name "Lipitor" and the word "cholesterol", and no results with the generic synonym "Atorvastatin"
