name of the mailing system. It is of the form, 'username@domain-name'. An
email alias is a forwarding email address. It simply forwards emails to specific
email addresses.

10. Search Tips
Exclude Words:
Use a minus sign (-) before a word to exclude it from the search
results. For example, "apple -fruit" will exclude results related to the
fruit.
Use Synonyms:
Try using synonyms or related terms if you're not getting the
results you want. For instance, "movie" instead of "film."
Use Site-Specific Search: To search within a specific website, use
the "site:" operator. For example, "site:wikipedia.org space
exploration" will search for information on space exploration only
on Wikipedia.
