This search form, located at the bottom of every page, performs a very thorough Google search of just this site:

The results will be returned on a Google page.

The "search scripts" form--located at the top-right of the banner of every page--will do a FULLTEXT search of the names and the descriptions in the AppleScripts database for search terms of 4 or more characters separated by spaces. (For a search of three-character terms, try adding a space before or after the term, ie: "PDF ".) In addition, you can use the following modifiers:

• "" [double-quote] A phrase that is enclosed within double quote characters (eg: "album artwork") matches the phrase literally, as it was typed.
• + [plus sign] A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in the results.
• - [minus sign] A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in the results.
• > < These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to the result. The > operator increases the contribution and the < operator decreases it
• * [asterisk] An asterisk is a truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word.

Additionally, Safari and other WebKit-based browsers display Mac-centric widgets in the search fields for clearing and maintaining recent search history. Currently, this is only available for those browsers.

This form, labeled "site search" and located at the top of the right column, will search articles and "what's new" entries.
