Bahamas Vacation Search Tips

If you are a bit overwhelmed by the 3,470,000+ responses to your Bahamas vacation search queries on the Web, and you're too busy to sort through the results or read the lengthy, and sometimes confusing, search engine "help" screens to find out how to improve your searching techniques... look no further! 

Real help is here, with Bahamas Vacation Search, the quintessential resource for Bahamas vacation information.

Use these tips to easily find Bahamas vacation resources most relevant to your needs.

Basic Searches

To enter a query into Bahamas Vacation Search, just type in a few descriptive words and hit the 'enter' key (or click on the Search button) for a list of relevant web pages.

Do NOT use quotations, the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-) as they have no effect on the search program and may return incomplete results.

Bahamas Vacation Search can return web pages that contain either ALL the words in your query or ANY words in your query. To refine or narrow your search, simply select which option you prefer and then add more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages that were found for your original "too-broad" query.

Select the "Match ALL words" option in the drop down box to force the inclusion of all your keywords words in your search results.  The results will include pages that contain ALL the words, not necessarily in the order you entered them.

Select the "Match ANY words" option in the drop down box to include any of your keywords words in the search results. The results will contain pages that contain ANY of the words, in any order, not necessarily in the order you entered them.

Put your most important keywords first in the string. For example: hotel paradise island

All Bahamas Vacation Search results are sorted by relevancy with the most relevant results presented at the top of the page, right after the Sponsored listings.

Search terms will be highlighted on the results pages, allowing you to see in what context the term was used. 

Choosing Keywords 

For best results, it's important to choose your keywords wisely. Keep these tips in mind: 

Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on ports of entry , enter "ports of entry" rather than "boating". 

Use words likely to appear on a web page with the information you want. "Luxury hotel Paradise Island" gets better results than "really nice places to stay on Paradise Island". 

Make keywords as specific as possible. "snorkeling nassau" gets more relevant results than "activities".  

Automatic "and" Queries

By default, Bahamas Vacation Search only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will not affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more terms. For example, to plan a vacation to Exuma, simply type:  exuma vacation or exuma hotel.

Automatic Exclusion of Common Words

Bahamas Vacation Search ignores common words and characters such as "where" and "how", as well as certain single digits and single letters, because they tend to slow down your search without improving the results. The results page will indicate if a common word has been excluded by displaying details on the results page below the headline.

Capitalization 

Bahamas Vacation Search searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for "nassau hotels", "Nassau Hotels", and "NaSsAu hOTeLs" will all return the same results.
