Adjust the search terms

1. Exclude words from a search.
   Add a dash (-) before a word to exclude all results with that exact word. To exclude all variations of the word you can search -word* Example: -fox excludes results with the word "fox", but "foxy" is included. If you search -fox* results with fox, foxy, foxalicious, and any variations of fox will nott show up.
2. Search for an exact phrase.
   Insert quotes around a phrase, or a period between words to return results containing that exact phrase. Example: Search Napa Valley or Napa.Valley to see labels containing that exact phrase.
3. Use wildcard operators (*) in search.
   Wildcards can be used by putting an asterisk (*) at the end of a word. When used at the end of a word, the asterisk matches all suffixes. Example: performing a search for Temp* returns results containing Temp, Temptation, Temple, and Temporary.
4. Search the full text of a label.
   Searches with no additional operators include labels that match all terms searched. Example: A search for quick red fox returns labels that include the word quick, the word red, and the word fox.
5. Take advantage of (OCR).
   Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is used to scan label images for printed text that is not included as part of the COLA, such as ingredients or flavor descriptions. The image text is converted into digital text. The formatting and font on some labels can affect the way the OCR recognizes characters, and the OCR may not recognize certain letters or words.
