Search Tips
To find mentions of a specific phrase, put the phrase in quotation marks. Searching for
public land
without quotation marks finds all records that mention the word public and the word land, while searching for
"public land"
with quotation marks will only find mentions of that phrase--potentially a difference of nearly 100,000 results.
