Search Instructions

This search engine helps you find documents on our website. Here's how it works: you tell the search service what you're looking for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search box. The search engine responds by giving you a list of all the Web pages in our index relating to those topics. The most relevant content will appear at the top of your results. Note: we re-index the SouledOut.org site frequently, however the most recently added pages may not be included in your search results.

How To Use:

1. Type your keywords in the search box.
2. Press the Search button to start your search.

Here's an example:

1. Type central spiritual sun in the search box.
2. Press the Search button or press the Enter key.
3. The Results page will show you several pages on SouledOut.org referencing the Central Spiritual Sun.

Tip: Don't worry if you find a large number of results—feel free to use more than a couple of words when searching. Even though the number of results will be large, the most relevant content will always appear at the top of the result pages.

What is a Word?

When searching, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. The search function needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly what you want online. You can separate words using white space and tabs.

What is a Phrase?

You can link words and numbers together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box.

Example #1: To find The Great Invocation type "Great Invocation" in the search box. You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots.

Example #2: Try searching for 1-800-999-9999 instead of 1 800 999 9999. The dashes link the numbers together as a phrase.

Simple Tip for More Exact Searches

Searches are case insensitive. Searching for "Monad" will match the lowercase "monad" and uppercase "MONAD".

Including or excluding words:

To make sure a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box.

Expand your search using wildcards (*):

By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings.

Example: Try wish*, to find wish, wishes, wishful, wishbone, and wishy-washy.
