Try not to be too restrictive with the search criteria or you may exclude the desired result.
When the search does not return the desired result, try again using different search criteria, such as a partial postal code.
Avoid using commonly abbreviated words as search criteria.
For example, the street name “St. Laurent” could be entered in several different ways, such as “St. Laurent”, “St-Laurent, “St Laurent” and “Saint Laurent”, so excluding the abbreviated part and entering “Laurent” only will improve the search results.
Avoid using “Limited” and “Incorporated” as search criteria, as these terms are often abbreviated.
Avoid entering the street type, such as “street”, “avenue” or “boulevard”, as these terms are often abbreviated.
For words that include an accent, you may have to perform two separate searches, one using the spelling with the accent and one without the accent (e.g. for “Montréal”, search using “montreal” and again using “montréal”, or just use “montr”).
