Search

Type in a word or words you want to search for. The search will look across all units including their summary, full and short name and study level.

You may only use up to 6 search terms.

Example
if you type in "log" you will find any unit with the word "log" in and also any units that contain words with log in, for example dialogue, technology etc.

Quick Tips and Examples

It's easy to search with our "Advanced Search". 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.

    Pentium computer with 8x CD-ROM for sale

The "Advanced 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 -- the "Advanced Search" returns relevant results even if they don't contain all query terms.

Use a require or reject operator (+,-).

    Before: Barney
    After:  Barney, +Smith -dinosaur

Barney alone is ambiguous. Is it looking for Smith Barney investment information or cartoon dinosaur pages? You can use the reject operator (the "minus" sign) to eliminate the cartoon dinosaur interpretation. Or, you can require that the word "Smith" be in the document. The after version above does both.
