Limits :

The keywords you enter must be well spelled. The search engine will not search for close words or words that sound like the word you enter. Howewer you can use the wilcard * at the end of a word (see above)

The shorts words (3 characters or less) are not indexed.

The searched words are not translated in any language by the search engine.
If you enter 'maison' as searched word (which is the french word for 'house'),
the search engine will not find content with "house" inside.

The search engine don't search for synonym. If you search 'home', you will not get results containing 'house'. As a consequence, maybe not so intuitive, you can find only words that authors (of assets or of web pages) have used. If authors never use 'home' but use 'house' instead, the search for 'home' will bring back nothing. You should search instead for 'home house' with the first option 'Find any keyword'
