TheyWorkForYou search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To search for a person, just enter their name – we will search our database of people, as well as searching speeches made by that person, or that mention that person.
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Hutton Report":
"hutton report"
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
