MasterClass Search Tips

MasterClass searches are not case sensitive

Searching for a phrase

real estate - find all occurrences of the two words "real estate" together.

Searching for multiple required words (AND)

commercial;lease - find all Web pages having both the word "commercial" and the word "lease". The semicolon (;) stands for "AND".

Searching for any words (OR)

Netscape,Mosaic,Browser - find all Web pages having any of the words "Netscape", "Mosaic", or "Browser". The comma (,) stands for "OR".

Searching for some required and some optional words (mixing AND and OR)

rent;house,for sale;condo - find all Web pages having both "rent" and "house" or having both "for sale" and condo.

Overriding the order of evaluation

rent;house;{hottub,view} - find all Web pages having both the words "rent" and "house" anywhere in the page, AND at least one or other of the words "hottub" or "view". The curly brackets {} are used to override evaluation precedence. Without the brackets, this search would be rent;house;hottub,view, which would search for all Web pages having either all three words "rent", "house", and "hottub", or simply having the word "view".
