If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.

Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

In the heart of Tasmania lies the Tarkine wilderness, or Takayna, where nature reigns supreme. The air is rich with the scent of earth, and towering myrtle and sassafras trees form a green canopy above deep rivers that carve through stone and soil. Tree ferns catch the light like delicate green hands, while the Southern Ocean crashes against the rugged coast. Takayna hums with life: platypuses splash in hidden streams, devils growl among dunes, owls' wings flap quietly, and birdsong echoes through rainforest. Takayna is deeply connected to an ancient world, carrying the stories of its First Peoples, who have revered its beauty and power for generations. Their presence is evident in sacred sites and ancient markers, speaking to those who pause to listen. This place endures largely due to its remoteness and Tasmania's isolation. However, Takayna's wild beauty is under threat and urgently needs protection despite decades of public campaigning.
