Search Term Selection
Choosing the right search keywords is the key to finding the relevant

Therefore, all letters, regardless of upper or lower cases, will be understood
the same way and return identical result. The search engine does not
distinguish word order, which means a combination of multiple words in a phrase
will give the same search result regardless of their orders. If you want to
look for items with exact phrase, simply put quotation marks around your search
terms, such as "construction service" Keep in mind that the more restrictions
you set on your search, the fewer will be returned.

interest, it is important that you use specific search terms to describe what
