    Using the hyphen

    Using the tilde
    after a word
    (~)    		 java~ The ~ (tilde) after a word produces results with words that are similar to the keyword and can allow for possible spelling mistakes. Results could include words like lava or jave.
    Using the tilde

    (~)    		 "microsoft excel"~6 The words Microsoft and excel will appear within 6 words of each other.
    AND excel AND powerpoint AND Outlook All 3 words will appear in the results. The Boolean AND command is used in order to require that all search terms come up in the search results.
