	The Wiki Search is a very powerful tool when trying to find specific information within this Wiki. However the best way to utilize it is not obvious. The most important thing to know is: Don't put in '''too''' much information, a simple "Clim" will pull up a drop down with all pages that start with "Clim" where "Climate Change ideas" will pull up nothing. However simply typing "clim" and then "enter" will only ask you if you want to create the page "clim" '''(hint:you don't want to do that.)'''. This is because the "Search" function only searches for whole words once "enter" is hit but will try to '''auto-complete''' before "enter" is hit.

Namespaces are followed by a colon, this page belongs to the Namespace '''Help:''' for example. Prefixes are ~~simply~~ words or numbers followed by a ~~space~~ at the beginning of a page name which help narrow down a search. ~~For example cities and towns~~ are used ~~as prefixes in this Wiki.

Prefixes are words or numbers followed by a hyphen at the beginning of a page name which help narrow down a search. Cities or Towns followed by a comma are used at the beginning of all Classified Ads pages. So entering your city or town followed by a comma should narrow your search in the Classified section.
