Searching Tips and Hints

Print this page
 

If you are looking for organic products and services, your company's listing, a list of certifiers, stores/retailers specializing in organic products, organic businesses by geographical location, organic ingredients, organic clothing and fiber businesses, please go to The Organic Pages Online.


To search, simply type in a word or phrase that you are searching for.

 

The OTA search engine also supports Boolean searching and recognizes following keywords: AND, OR, NOT.

 

Here is an example: if you search by "(press AND release) NOT interest", it will return all articles having "press" and "release" words in it, and NOT having "interest" word.

 

A few more hints:
1) Prepend a word with "NOT", e.g. "NOT press" to exclude word "press" from search results.
2) Use "word1 AND word2" to find pages that contain both words.
3) Use "word1 OR word2" to find pages that contain at least one of words.
4) Use braces for grouping, for instance, to find page containing EITHER both words "word1" and "word2", OR one word "word3", enter: (word1 AND word2) OR word3
