Search IOMA Products & Publications
The IOMA.com Search Engine uses most of the standard search techniques. Some of the most common that you might be interested in using are...
- Search for exact phrases using quotation marks (" ")
Typing "monthly close" will find items with those exact words in sequence (and may give you fewer results). - Use the minus sign (-) to narrow your search
If you enter monthly -close, that tells the search engine to include the word monthly but not close. Don't forget - there's no space after the sign. - Use a wildcard (*) for multiple endings
By typing an * (asterisk symbol) at the end of a word, you can search for items with multiple endings. For example: warn* would return items such as warns, warnings, etc.
