Site Search Help

Type one or more words on the search box, then click on the Go! button. The search engine will find all the documents that contain all the words that you typed, not necessarily in the order that you typed them.

Please note:
This is a site search function, it will not search the Library Catalogue.  Please visit our Library Catalogue Search page to search for the library's books, serials, and e-resource collections.

Using Site Search Options:

all words:
The search engine will find all documents that contain all the words that you typed, not necessarily in the order that you typed them. For example, typing nutrition month will give you documents that contain both the words nutrition and month. These words need not appear together or in the same order in the document. By default, this is how the search is done.

any words:
The search engine will find all documents that contain one or more of the words that you typed. For example, typing nutrition month will give you documents that contain only nutrition or only month or both nutrition and month.

exact phrase:
The search engine will find all documents that contain the words you typed in the order that you typed them. For example, typing nutrition month will give you only the documents for which the words appear together in the document in the same order that you typed these words.

Using Wildcard Search:

The search function also accepts the wildcard character *.

For example:

  • typing nutri* will give you documents containing words such as nutrition and nutritional.
  • typing *tion will give you documents containing words such as nutrition and addition.
