Tips on Searching

The Webinator's search can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be. Usually you will just need to enter a few words that best describe that which you are trying to locate. To perform more complicated searches you might use any combination of logic operators, special pattern matchers, concept expansion, or proximity operations.

Example: cellphone radiation cancer
Query Rules of Thumb

If you get too many junk or nonsense answers:

  1. Add some more words to your query.
  2. Decrease the range of the Proximity control.
  3. Change the Word Forms control to Exact.
  4. Look at the Context View and see why they are showing up.
  5. Use the Exclusion Operator (-) to remove unwanted terms.
  6. If you are searching for a phrase, hyphenate the words together.

If you don't get any answers, or just too few:

  1. Remove some words from your query.
  2. Examine your spelling.
  3. Increase the scope of the Proximity control.
  4. Use the Rank option.
  5. It just might not be there?
