Searching the UKOLN Website
The UKOLN site can now be searched using Swish-e. Enter one or more keywords and the search engine will look for these in the full text of all documents: html, php, cgi, MS Office files (.doc, .ppt, .xls), and pdf. If you are not familiar with using a search engine, or are not familiar with forming search expressions/queries using Boolean terminology (ands, ors, and so forth), then please read the hints below.
- and - by default, and is automatically inserted between terms where no other operator is used. Example: Netskills Foster will tell you of pages with both the words Netskills and Foster in them.
- or - needs to be specified if required. Example: Netskills or Foster will tell you of any pages containing either the words Netskills or Foster.
- Phrase - surround a phrase in double quotes to search for it. Example: "Lorcan Dempsey" will result in pages being identified that contain the phrase Lorcan Dempsey
- Truncation - use a * to indicate truncation. Example: veget* will identify all pages containing the words vegetable, Vegetarian, Vegetated and so on...
- Searches are case insensitive, so searches on ukoln, Ukoln or UKOLN will all identify the same pages.
