+    <li>Be sure that you are searching for something that relates to Mozilla; This is not a web search.</li>
+    <li>Try to broaden your search - don't be too specific; The terms could be worded differently than what you search for.</li>
+    <li>Avoid being too broad with your search: words like &quot;Mail&quot; and &quot;mozilla&quot; could possibly return all of the pages in the help file.</li>
