About Search
NSF uses two search engines to handle most of the searches on our
site. The "NSF Web Site" search uses a Google search, while the News,
Events, Discoveries, and Publications searches are handled by the Verity
K2 server. The collection tabs on the main search page make
it easy for users to repeat their searches among the various
collections.
UPDATES AND AVAILABILITY
Each of the collections is reindexed overnight. The collections may be
unavailable while reindexing is taking place. The Awards search is
offline for several hours on Saturday while the data is reloaded.
