Search:

There are a couple ways to limit answers to a geographic area.

By City and State:
Just add the name of the City and the two letter State abbreviation to your query. For example: "museum* cleveland oh" will produce a list of sites that mention museums and are located in Cleveland, Ohio. If you omit the "Cleveland" the the whole state would be searched.

By Zip Code:
The query "museum* zip:441*" will force the engine to restrict the answers to sites that have a zip code beginning with 441. It is generally true that three digit Zip prefixes will capure areas that are close to one another, but not restricted to a City boundary.

Don't know the Zip code?
Just do a search for the City and State abbreviation. The list of answers will show you Zip codes that are encompassed by that City.

About Wildcard (*) Searches:
The Web Site Catalog will allow you to use the wildcard as long as the search string is longer than 2 characters. Using a '*' at the end of a word will find all things that begin with that word.
