Help with Searching Estrada sites

Searching can be done in a variety of ways.

  • Page Title-this searches only words in the page title
  • Full-Text Keyword Search-this search checks all words on a page

The simplest searches will retrieve the most results; a more complex search will retrieve fewer results but may be more relevent to your query.

  • You may format your query in the following ways:
    1. Single Word Search, e.g. chemistry

    2. Multiple Word Search:

  • Use the most simple form of the word i.e. parking permits would bring up better results just putting in "parking" or "permit" with no "s".

  • Use AND to combine search terms that appear anywhere on the Web page, e.g. drama and English,

  • Use OR to search for the presence of one term or another in search results, e.g. training or courses.
