Enter a word, phrase, or appeal number (e.g. A1234567). You may use the following symbols to refine your search:
+ a plus sign between items includes all of those items in your search
| a pipe sign between items searches for one item or another
– a hyphen will search for results without the following item (please omit spaces in-between)
“” quotes around multiple items will search for an exact phrase
* an asterix at the end of an item will search for results that contain that item with a variety of endings
() brackets give priority to the items inside the brackets over other symbols in your search
For example, “mental disorder” | (permanent -John) + disab* searches for the exact phrase “mental disorder” or the word permanent but not John. It will also find words that start with “disab”.
