Tips for Entering Keywords

•Use quotation marks to specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList search (to

enter quotation marks, press PAUSE . For example, the keyword PAUL SIMON might turn up a documentary about Simon Bolivar with a director named Paul. Use “PAUL SIMON” to be certain you find only programs that feature Paul Simon.

•If you include an exact phrase and additional keywords, place a space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word (for example, “GEENA DAVIS” FLY).

Enter a space by selecting SP or pressing FORWARD .

•If you enter more than one keyword, the search finds programs that match all of the keywords.

•Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, use the keyword 20 20 to search for the title “20/20.” For an Actor WishList for Catherine Zeta- Jones, use ZETA JONES, CATHERINE.

•Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.” (Note that commas ( , ) in titles and keywords are also ignored, except in an actor or director WishList search, where they are essential.)

•For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find “$100,000 Pyramid,” use S100000. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.)
