The remnewsletters.com search engine uses most of the standard search techniques. Some of the most common that you might be interested in using are...
Search for exact phrases using quotation marks (" ") Typing "apple" or "sun" will find items with those exact words in sequence.
Use the minus sign (-) to narrow your search
If you enter network -phone, that tells the search engine to include the word network but not phone. Don't forget - there's no space after the minus sign (e.g. -phone).
Use a wildcard (*) for multiple endings
By typing an * (asterisk symbol) at the end of a word, you can search for items with multiple endings. For example: Microsoft W* would return items such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, etc.
