Tips for Searching the Crayola Web Site

Trouble Finding What You Want? Try These Tips:

Ever tried a Wild Card?
You can use words or wildcards to refine your search.

For example, you could use * as a wildcard. It stands in for any number of letters... (bl* will return documents that have words like blue, black and blossom in them.)

? is another wildcard to try. Use ? as a wildcard for only one letter. For example: bl?ck will return documents that have the words black and block, but not blue.

Little Words That Can Help A Lot...
AND - Use AND to search for documents that have both words in it. For example: blue AND crayon will return documents that have both the words blue and crayon in them.

OR - Use OR to search for documents with either word in it. For example: blue OR crayon will return documents that have either the words blue or crayon in them.

NOT - Use NOT to search for documents with either word in it. For example: blue NOT crayon will return documents that have the word blue in them but not crayon.

How Symbols Work in Search...
(Parentheses) - Use parentheses when you want to determine how ANDs and ORs are treated. Words within parentheses are considered as a unit and will be considered first. For example: marker OR (blue AND crayon) will return documents that have either the words blue and crayon or marker in them.

"Quotation Marks" - Use quote marks when you want to search for literal phrases. Especially useful when you want to search for the words "and" or "or." For example: "blue crayon" will return documents that have the phrase "blue crayon" in them.
