Quick Tips and Examples | |
It's easy to search on www.whitehouse.gov. Just type
in a few words or phrases. Try to use discriminating terms that are
likely to be found only in the documents you seek. The more words
you give, the better results you'll get. Here are some examples:
Search by typing words and phrases.
President Bush Speaks at U.S. Conference of Mayors National Summit
Your search will find documents containing as many
of these words and phrases as possible, ranked so that the documents
most relevant to your query are presented first. Don't worry about
missing a document because it doesn't have one of the words in your
search -- your search returns relevant results
even if they don't contain all query terms.
Identify phrases with quotation marks, separate with
commas.
"White House","George W. Bush"
A phrase is entered using double quotation marks, and only matches those
words which appear adjacent to each other. Separate multiple phrases or
proper names with a comma.
Use UPPER case to indicate exact match.
White House
Search terms in lowercase will match words in any case, otherwise, an
exact case match is used. For example, house will find matches
for House, house, and HOUSE, whereas a query for
HOUSE will only match HOUSE.
