Search Help & Examples

This lists examples of ways to search for specific words or phrases.  To find items by typing in a single word, simply type in a word that is the most specific representative of what you are looking for.  The search engine will return all words that contain your search word.  This is the most inclusive search.  For example, if you type in disc, it will return both disc and discover.  If you type in grind, it will return both grind and grinding. 

To narrow your search, you may use quotes for single words or phrases.  Typing in "grind" will only return grind.  To use a phrase, simply enclose the phrase in quotes ("?").  For example, to find 7x1/2x1-1/4, type in  "7x1/2x1-1/4" .  To find multiple words, simply list each word making sure you sure you insert a blank space after each word.  Like "pink grinding wheel".  This will only return an exact match.  If you were looking for grinding wheel you would want to type in "grinding wheel" as this would return a better list than grinding wheel which would include grinding and wheel.  When using phrases, the order of the words is important as "diamond dressing" would not return the same results as "dressing diamond".  If you were to leave off the quotes, they would return the same results.

We suggest you use a single word search in quotes for the best results.
