It's easy to search with Inktomi Search. Just type in a few words or
phrases. Try to use discriminating terms that are likely to be found only
in the documents you seek. The more words you give, the better results
you'll get. Here are some examples:
Search by typing words and phrases.
Pentium computer with 8x CD-ROM for sale
Inktomi Search will find documents containing as many of these words
and phrases as possible, ranked so that the documents most relevant to
your query are presented first. Don't worry about missing a document
because it doesn't have one of the words in your search -- Inktomi Search
returns relevant results even if they don't contain all query terms.
Identify phrases with quotation marks, separate with commas.
Pentium computer with "8x CD-ROM", "for sale"
A phrase is entered using double quotation marks, and only matches
those words which appear adjacent to each other. Separate multiple phrases
or proper names with a comma.
Use UPPER case to indicate exact match.
Steve Jobs, NeXT
Search terms in lowercase will match words in any case, otherwise, an
exact case match is used. For example, next will find matches for Next,
next, and NeXT, whereas a query for NeXT will only match NeXT.
