Search Tips

Our basic search can be very effective if item you're looking for has a specific name or characteristic.

To narrow search results when the search term has more than one word, enclose the words in quote symbols, for example "dark chocolate".  This will cause the search to narrow the scope of the search significantly, though there are times when you may still get too many results.

When using our basic search, be sure to use the complete name or word that you're searching for. Partial words will not result in a match. You may also need to try both the singular and plural forms of the terms you are interested in, e.g. square and squares.

If basic search returns a very large number of items, you can use the blue "Shop By" bar at the left of the results page to narrow the range of items displayed.  Often this can result in zeroing in on the product you're seeking.

Searching for very specific items can be also be accomplished using the Advanced Seach feature, which is much better at targeting desired search results than the basic search function. Just click on the Advanced Search link under the search bar. There you will find a wide selection of term-specific search selectors. Just make your choices, and click the Search button.
