Search Tips
Here are some tips to help you find what you are looking for.

-	Searches are not case sensitive.
-	You can use the boolean operators AND, OR and NOT. When you do not connect words using boolean operators, AND is used by default.
-	Punctuation marks such as the period (.), colon (:), semicolon (;), and comma (,) are ignored during a search.
-	Highly common words such as "a", "an", "and", "as" and "the" are ignored in a search, or are used as place holders in an exact phrase search.
-	The wildcard * matches any number of characters, and the wildcard ? matches any single character.

Search Examples
PHP tutorial		Will find items that contain the words "PHP" and "tutorial".
Delphi AND Programming		Will only find items where both Delphi and Programming exist.
Delphi OR Basic		Will find items where either Delphi, Basic or both exist.
Delphi AND NOT Basic		Will find items that contain Delphi but do not contain Basic.
"Visual Studio"		Will find items containing the exact phrase "Visual Studio".
graph*		Will find all items containing words starting with graph, e.g. graphs, graphic, graphics.
games w/5 C		Will find all items that have the word games within 5 words of the word C.
p%%olymorphizm		Will do a fuzzy search, allowing one letter to be different. This is useful if you are unsure how to spell a word.
hack~		Will use stemming and match "hack", "hacking", "hacker" etc.
