To enter, just type in a few descriptive words and hit the 'enter' key, or click on the Search button for a list of relevant web pages. Since the search only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query, refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages that the search found for your original "too-broad" query.

Choosing keywords
For best results, it's important to choose your keywords wisely. Keep these tips in mind:

• Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on DBP President Simon Paterno, enter "Paterno" rather than "president".
• Use words likely to appear on a site with the information you want. "Solar energy projects" gets better results than "all probable alternative energy projects".
• Make keywords as specific as possible. "Non-credit technical assistance" gets more relevant results than "bank aid".

Automatic "and" queries
By default, the search only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more terms. For example, to look for loans for expansion simply type: loan expansion

Automatic exclusion of common words
The search ignores common words and characters such as "where" and "how", as well as certain single digits and single letters, because they tend to slow down your search without improving the results. The search will indicate if a common word has been excluded by displaying details on the results page below the search box. If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.) Another method for doing this is conducting a phrase search, which simply means putting quotation marks around two or more words. Common words in a phrase search (e.g., "where are you") are included in the search.

For example, to search for Window 3, use:
