Searching on the Wiki

Can't find exactly what you are looking for on the Wiki? Here are some tips to remember when searching the TMM Wiki:

  • There is a difference between "Go" and "Search":
    • "Go" will attempt to bring to a wiki article with a title that matches your search term (hitting enter on the search box will use "Go")
    • "Search" will scan the body of all articles for your search term (you must click the "Search" button to use this feature)
  • You can use a wildcard character ( * ) at the end of your search term to broaden your result set.
    • Example: you can enter "boat*" to find "boat" or "boats".
    • However "*boat" will not work because the * is not at the end.
  • Search results are not case sensitive ("CCBill" and "ccbill" will return the same results)
  • You can search for a phrase by enclosing the phrase in "double quotes".
  • Search terms must be at least 4 characters or more (Example: "DHD" is not a valid search term)
