To
perform a search on Harpoon.net, use the keyword search box on
any page to enter keywords relevant to the product or topic you
are looking for and click Search. |
 |
Single
keyword searches produce broad mixed results, relevant two and three
keyword phrases produce more refined results - try the examples in
popular search categories
on the Home page. |
|
Always
leave a space between your keywords, unless you're looking for a domain
name, in which case follow the same format as the domain eg. shoppingdirectory. |
|
Harpoon.net
is able to return the same web results for slightly different language
inflections. For example, if you are looking for pages about 'networked
computers', Harpoon.net makes the assumption that you will also
be interested in pages containing phrases such as 'network computer'. |
|
Plurals,
verb tenses, adverbs, direct synonyms and so on, are 'normalised'
back to root form,
e.g. properties/property, stores/store. |
|
Harpoon.net
does discriminate between nouns and verbs so that "choreographer"
will return different web results to "choreograph" as you
would expect from normal word usage. |
|
The
following are examples of words and phrases that give the same search
results:
"Easter vacations", "Easter vacation", "Easter
holiday" and "Easter holidays"
"foster children", "foster child", "fostered
children"
"choreographing ballet", "choreographed ballets",
"choreograph ballet" etc.
"decentralized government", "decentralised governments"
etc.
"Christmas cards", "Xmas card" etc. |
|
Harpoon.net
is not case sensitive, "Property" and "property"
will return the same results. |
|
If
you need to regionalise your search for more local results then use
town or county names as part of your search e.g. "go karts london". |
