### Search tips

These tips can help you improve your search results in Help:

- If you search using a phrase, such as “shape tool,” put quotation marks around the phrase. The search returns only those topics containing all words in the phrase.

- Make sure that search terms are spelled correctly.

- If a search term doesn’t yield results, try using a synonym, such as “web” instead of “Internet.”
