Search the HSA Web Site

Enter a few key words in the box above and click on the "Find" Button. 

By default the search engine will locate pages which have exact matches for all of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it then tries to locate pages which contain any words in your search query. If that happens a short message is displayed at the top of the search results indicating this has been done.

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.

1. Phrase Search
   The search engine supports three types of phrase searches:

• To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
  Example: "west nile virus"

• To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
  Example: [flu shot clinic]

• To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
  Example: {HIV infection statistics}

2. + and - qualifiers

• Add a + sign before a word and that word is required to be on the page.

• Add a + sign before a word and that word is required to not be on the page.
  Example: +always -never

3. * wildcard
   If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
   Example: gift*

4. ? wildcard
   If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
   Example: b?g

5. boolean search
   You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
   Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)

All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
