Don't include quotation marks, asterisks or other non-alpha/numeric characters. If you try to use a logogram, such as the ampersand, it is recommended that you place it at the end of your keyword combination. For example, say that you want to search for resource & service providers rather than resource and service providers. In that case, you simply search for resource & and nothing more. Although this seems to discourage use of the ampersand, searching when it is included as part of a name may be necessary, for example, when looking through a directory listing, mission contacts.
