Florida Keys Treasures Site Search Tips

There are many reasons why you may not have gotten any matches or not the matches you were looking for. It is possible that there is not anything on the Keys Treasures site that matches your search words (YET). I check what search words are used to find out what the site visitors are looking for. Check back periodically and you may find that I have added more content and there will be some results the next time you use the same search.

If YOU have placed some information on the Links Page, Message Board, and are checking to see if that information will show up on the Search, you must know that the Search Database is not updated immediately. Your information will be added to the Search Database Sunday night.
Check back and try the search again!

There may be a need to refine your search. You can check out Search Tips below for a detailed description on using the Keys Treasures Site Search Engine. It will take you through all the different searches available. Click on the links and you will get a complete explanation of that feature.

If all else fails, you can contact me at and I will try to assist you.

To perform a search, type what you are looking for into the search box:


To get more specific search results, try using the following tips:

Check your spelling

Use multiple words
Example:
wreck diving

Use similar words
Example:
bonefish flyfishing flats

Use appropriate capitalization
Example:
Big Pine Key

Use quotation marks This is VERY important when you search with a Phrase with key or keys in it.
Example:
"Looe Key reef"

Use plus (+) or minus (-)
Example:
+key -west

Use field searches
Example:
title:events
desc:"bonefish"
keys:non-profit
body:"lighthouse salt pepper"
alt:what where when
url:help

Use wildcards

Example:
fl*
"*fish* ch*"
644-*

Check spelling
Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. The search engine will attempt to find words that sound similar to your search terms, but it is always best to try to spell the search terms correctly.

Example:


(try it)

Use multiple words
Use multiple words when performing your search. The search results will return more refined results from several words than from a single word. For example, typing best seafood restaurant will return more relevant results than typing only seafood. (Keep in mind, relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.)

Example:


(try it)

Use similar words
The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant results you will get back.

Example:


(try it)

Use appropriate capitalization
Capitalize proper nouns. Lowercase words will match any case. For example, typing reef will return all documents containing the words reef, Reef, and REEF. However, typing Reef will, for example, may only find pages with information about Reef Relief.

Example:

Use quotation marks
Use quotation marks to find words which must appear adjacent to each other, for example, "key west bed and breakfast". Otherwise, the search results will include the words key, west, bed, and the word breakfast, but not necessarily in that order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document.

Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons for "any," "all," and "phrase," then quotes can only be used when the "any" radio button is selected. Quotes are ignored if the Advanced Search Form "all" or "phrase" radio button is selected.

Example:


(try it)

Use plus (+) or minus (-)
Use a plus sign when your search term or phrase must appear in the search results. Use a minus sign to indicate undesirable term(s). The plus sign tells the search engine that a certain word or phrase is required in the search results, and a minus sign indicates that a word or phrase must be absent in the search results.

Note: A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave no spaces between the plus or minus sign and the term.

Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons for "any," "all," and "phrase," then plus and minus can only be used when the "any" radio button is selected. Plus and minus are ignored if the Advanced Search Form "all" or "phrase" radio button is selected.

Example:


(try it)

Use field searches
Field searches allow you to create specific searches for words that appear in a specific part of a document. A field search can be performed on body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta key words (keys:) or URL (url:). The field name should be in lowercase and immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces between the colon and the search term.

Note: The field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases must be contained within quotation marks.

Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with a list box for the field name, then field names can only be entered before a word or phrase when the "any" option is selected. Specific field names are ignored if any other Advanced Search Form field is selected in the list box.

Use wildcards
Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The * character is used as the wildcard character.
For instance, searching for
fl* will find the words florida, flats, fly, flyrod, and any other word that starts with fl.
Searching for
*fish* will find the words bonefish, sailfishing, flyfishing, fishfry, and any other word that contains fish anywhere in the word.

Wildcards may be combined with the standard plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers, quotes for phrases, as well as the field search specifiers.
+fl* -*fish* will find all pages which have a word that starts with fl and which does not contain a word containing fish. What does this do with the word flyfishing?
"best fl*" will find the phrases best florida, best flats, best flyfishing, etc.
