Tips
• Use a comma to separate city and state/country (Atlanta, Georgia; Montreal,
Canada), major point of interest and state (Mt Washington, NH), parts of an address
(444 E Pk Drive, Milford, CT or 444 E Pk Dr, 06460), or coordinate points (N 43.8, W
70.2).
• You can find major landmarks or points of interest, such as Yellowstone National
Park and Mount Rushmore, without using the state as part of the search criteria.
• Separate street intersections with an ampersand (Congress St & High St, Portland,
ME or Congress St & High St, 04101).
• Avoid entering a period in your text.
• Click the Search For down arrow to view a drop-down list of previously used search
words and examples.
• The Search For drop-down list keeps a history of your successful search words
during a session and between sessions. To delete your search history, select Clear
