Narrowing Your Search Term

Choosing the right search terms is the key to finding the information you need.

Start with the obvious -- if you're looking for general information on Hawaii, try Hawaii.

But it's often advisable to use multiple search terms; if you're planning a Hawaiian vacation, you'll do better with vacation Hawaii than with either vacation or Hawaii by themselves. Also vacation Hawaii golf may produce even better results, due to narrowing the search criteria even further.

You might also ask yourself if your search terms are sufficiently specific. It's better to search on luxury hotels Maui than on tropical island hotels. But choose your search terms carefully; WeekendRUSH Search looks for the search terms you chose, so luxury hotels Maui will probably deliver better results than great places to spend the night in Maui.

How to limit search results to pages from a specific country or domain

You can restrict result sources by following your search terms with a domain restriction in the search box. To do so, use the "site:" operator followed by your chosen domain. The "site:" operator works for both web domains and top level domains.

For example:

music site:uk

lemur site:org

enrollment site:edu

ranking site:weekendrush.com

Capitalization

Our searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for bill gates, Bill Gates, and bIlL gAtEs will all return the same results.

Prioritize Your Keywords

Keep in mind that the order in which the terms or keywords are typed will affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more keywords. For example, to plan a vacation to Hawaii, simply type vacation Hawaii.

Auto Spell Check

If we are able to determine that there are a large number of relevant search results with an alternative spelling of a word, you'll see "Did you mean:" at the top of your search results. To view the search results for this more common query, click on the word in question.

For example, searches for Madnna would return a suggestion of Madonna.

Quick Start

Save time by setting WeekendRUSH Search as your browser's default homepage. Not sure what a homepage is? Continue reading...

Your browser's default homepage is the page that your browser will display every time you open it. Many users choose to have a search engine or a web portal as their homepage. On the other hand, the homepage of a website is its main page from which all the other pages of that site can be accessed.

What is a Keyword?

A word that is entered into the search box of a search engine. The search engine then looks for pages that include the word or phrase.

Image Search Results Filter

Each image search results page includes an filtering menu above the results. You can select the type of coloration you want to see during each image search. This will allow you only display color, black and white, or you can set it to show all types of images.

Safe Search

In an effort to offer a family friendly environment, many of our search results feature a safe search control. By default safe search is on, but you may also choose to turn this feature off to display additional results that may not by suitable for all ages.

Choose Words Carefully

Use specific words to describe exactly what you're looking for. More general terms give a larger number of results, so try to narrow your search.

For example:

Try "19th century chairs" instead of "old furniture"

Use "digital camera reviews" instead of "electronics"

Watch for words with more than one meaning. If you're looking for information on modeling, make sure you specify "fashion" or "clay."
