Some generic keywords (water, for example) match many categories and display a
dialog box with specific categories. Select or clear these categories, depending on
what you want to locate.
•
In the Keyword Category samples below, some keywords are used together to
narrow the search. The following two examples provide information on how results
may differ using words together and separately:
•
Example 1–Using Local Road provides many category results, such as Ferry
Crossing Local Road, Local or Rural Road, and Railroad Local Line.
•
Example 2–Using Road provides over 100 results from more categories.
•
Partial words are recognized when performing a search.
•
You can use keywords in any order. You get the same results using Local Road as for
Road Local.
•
A keyword may find categories related to the word rather than including the word.
•
Use the word "or" in the Keywords text box to search for multiple categories. For
example, "pizza" or "fast food."
