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:

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:

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.
Example:

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.
