Search Help
Enter your search term or phrase in
the textbox above and click the Search button.
The Search will automatically look
for words with similar roots. For example, if you search for
"water" you will also get results showing pages
containing "watered," "watering," "waterings,"
"waterer," and "waters."
Advanced Search Functions
If you would like to perform a more
targeted search, settings can be adjusted in the 3 categories
that appear above the search box.
1) In the Match window,
choose whether to search for web pages containing All
the words, Any of the words, or some Boolean
combination of words.
Match All Words
to find web pages that include all of the words typed in a
search. (This search mode is similar to using the Boolean
"and" expression.)
Match Any Words to find web
pages that include any of the words typed in a search. (This
search mode is similar to using the Boolean "or"
expression.)
A Boolean Expression is used
to describe exactly what you are searching for using the
terms "and" and "or" along with parenthesis
to group specific words together. Examples of Boolean expressions
that relate to water are shown below:
water and river
water or river
(water or river) and channel
2) In the Format window,
choose Long or Short responses. Below are examples
of the entries returned by each format:
