Search Rules
This search engine helps you
find documents on this Web site and related sites. Here's
how it works: you tell the search service what you're looking
for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search
box. The search service responds by giving you a list of all
the Web pages in our index relating to those topics. The most
relevant content will appear at the top of your results.
How To Use:
- Type your keywords in the
search box.
- Press the Search button
to start your search.
Here's an example:
- Type new & used auto
loans.
- Press the Search button
or press the Enter key.
- The Results page will show
you pages on Mazuma's Web site about our rates, terms and
types of new and used auto loans.
Tip: Don't worry if you find
a large number of results. In fact, use more than a couple
of words when searching. Even though the number of results
will be large, the most relevant content should always
appear at the top of the result pages.

What is
an Index?
Webster's dictionary describes
an "index" as a sequential arrangement of material. Our index
is a large, growing, organized collection of pages within
our Web site. When you use our search service, you search
the entire collection using keywords or phrases.
What is
a word?
When searching, think of a word
as a combination of letters and numbers. The search service
needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly
what you want on the Internet. You can separate words using
white space and tabs.
What is
a phrase?
You can link words and numbers
together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers
to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find
an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase
when you enter words in the search box.
Example #1: To find a specific
Mazuma product, type "home equity loan" in the search box.
You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters
such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes or dots.
Example #2: Try searching for
1-888-361-4194. The dashes link the numbers together as a
phrase.

Tips for More Exact Searches
All searches are case insensitive
and punctuation insensitive. Searching for "SMARTLINE" will
match the lowercase "smartline", two words "SMART LINE", and
punctuated "smart-line" or "smart.line".
Including or excluding words:
To make sure that a specific
word is always included in your search topic, place the plus
(+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make
sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search
topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search
box.
Example: To find Mazuma's Membership
Application, type +membership +application.
Expand your search using
wildcards (*):
By typing an * at the beginning
or end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple
endings.
Example: Try *application to
find a list of all of Mazuma's applications, for example,
loan and deposit products, Visa, membership, convenience card,
etc. |
