Default Search Type
- Automatic "and" search - Only returns pages that include all of your search terms. For example, searching for "first place" finds pages that include both "first" and "place".
- Not case sensitive - For example, searching for "ride", "Ride", "RIDE", and "RiDe" all find the same results.
- Automatic "whole word" search - To provide better results, searches for words exactly as you type them in the search box. For example, searching for "win" will not find "winner", and searching for "winner" will not find "winners."
- You can use the Advanced Search form to perform searches with settings different from these.
