Online Handbook search queries are sometimes ineffective
When I search the handbook for "format style page" I get these results
When searching for "style" I get this
When searching for "format" I get this
Perhaps these are not reasonable search queries?
Fortunately there's the PDF version of the handbook. That works great for me.
Thanks!

I always relied on the PDF when I started using the program. Searching it was a great tool.
By now I pretty much know most chapters and my browser history completes them :)
In the earlier days I just always started from the index page and used browser search in there. When that doesn't work I use the internet search facilities and limit them to the musescore.org domain; which often gives better results than the in-site search tool.
A Google search: "MuseScore + your topic" is often more effective

To this we've already concurred, as a workaround.
I was just pointing out that the MuseScore.org's Query field does not function very well. I'd think MuseScore.org would want it to proved better results. Are there forum instructions regarding Booleans that would elicit better focused results?

Literally put that into google, it knows "site:yourfavoritewebsite.com" means, search on that specific website.

Agreed. Intra-site search seems to be the bane of the Internet ...
Primarily I search for MuseScore information and answers with Google ... or inside the Handbook PDF.
