There are 16,000 strips and counting in our database, and although our search engine is very sophisticated, it’s not perfect. If you can’t find a strip that you know is in here, please email us<\/a> with as much info as possible and we’ll try to help.<\/p>\n

Here are some ways to boost your search results:<\/p>\n

1. Most effective: search for part of the punchline in quotes.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

If you search for “i want it now”, you’ll get a better result than searching for i want it now. <\/em>Putting your search terms in quotation marks will tell the search engine to search for exactly those words in that order.<\/p>\n

2. Try searching for uncommon keywords related to that strip.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Less-common keywords will give you fewer results. If you know you want a strip with Elly ironing, search for ironing<\/em> and not Elly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We’ve made a few tweaks to our search engine to make keyword searches easier. For example searching for hamsters<\/em> will return strips with hamster<\/em>. Searching for ana<\/em> will get you banana<\/em> and anatomy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In some cases, we’ve used synonym matching; for example searching for “housecoat” will get you strips with the keyword “bathrobe”.<\/p>\n

3. Narrow down your results with plus and minus.<\/strong><\/h1>\n
