Search Rules

These are simple Google search rules used.

A single word. For example, typing elephant into the search box will instruct Omni-T-Notes to search topics notes for the word elephant.

Several words. For example, typing elephant dog cat into the search box will instruct Omni-T-Notes to search topic notes for any of those words.

An exact phrase. To search for an exact phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, typing "beautiful cat" into the search box will instruct Omni-T-Notes to search topic notes for the exact phrase, but not for the individual words beautiful or cat.
