iSixSigma Search Center

Below is a table outlining the search syntax supported by iSixSigma Search. By default, iSixSigma Search will return only those pages containing every keyword searched. Therefore, searching for: six sigma will return the same results as searching for: +six +sigma.

Search	Example	Explanation
Single Keyword	sigma	Returns each page containing the keyword sigma
Multiple Keywords	six sigma	Returns each page containing the keyword six AND the keyword sigma anywhere within the document. Same as if you had typed: +six +sigma (see Boolean)
Phrase	"six sigma"	Returns each page containing the exact string in quotes, meaning only those pages where six is followed directly by sigma.
Boolean	+sigma -six	Returns each page based on the Boolean condition being met. A plus (+) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST exist on the page. A minus (-) preceding a keyword indicates that the keyword MUST NOT exist on the page.
Wildcard (Partial Keywords)	sig* *gma *igm*	Returns each page where a keyword exists that either starts with, ends with, or is contained within a particular term.  Therefore, the first example would return any page containing keywords starting with sig, such as sigma, or signs, or signal. The second example would return any page containing keywords ending in gma such as dogma, or enigma, or magma. The third example would return any page containing keywords with igm within itself, such as stigmata, or enigmas.
Title Search	^sigma	Returns each page containing the keyword sigma within the <TITLE> section of the HTML.
URL Search	$sigma	Search all indexed URLs within a site including the domain name, directory path, and filename / extension. healthcare.isixsigma.com/six_sigma_calculator.asp healthcare.isixsigma.com/library/content/six-sigma-newbie.asp
