Search the Illinois Fire Service Association Website

Information regarding searching the site

First you can select which portion of the site you would like to search, or just leave ILFSA Complete selected for a search of the entire website.

You can then search this site by using a combination of multiple keywords (all of which must be contained in the document for it to be returned) or by a single keyword. You should avoid using the words "and", "or", and "not". These words are ignored as keywords and can affect the validity of the search!

For example you may use a single keyword such as "fire"
You may also use a phrase such as "fire service"

You can also use wildcards to represent characters or strings. Below is a list of current usable wildcards and how they function.

Wildcards:

*	Asterix represents 0 or more characters. For instance r*m would give response to anything that said roam or ram, or anything else that was contained by r and m.
?	A question mark is a single character. For instance r?m would give only responses with one letter, like ram.
[]	Square brackets specify one of any characters that appear in a set. For example searching for b[o,e]ard would return results for board and beard.
{}	Curly braces specify a group of characters that are in a set. For example searching stock{s,ed,ing} would return everything that had stocks, stocked, stocking in it.
^	The carat is used with the square brackets to specify a letter that is not used. For instance searching st[^io]ck will match when stack or stuck comes up, but not for stick or stock.
-	The hyphen is used in conjunction with the square brackets to indicate a set of letters. For instance b[a-z]d would indicate any word which contained the letters a-z and b and d on the ends; examples include bad, bed, bid, and bud.
