WEBSITE SEARCH TOOL

Search Results

Search results are sorted by relevancy. The relevancy algorithm is based on a combination of frequency and position of search terms within the document. Documents of equal relevancy are sub-sorted by title.
The system is currently configured to return a maximum of 300 results.
The search engine searches against the full content of all html/asp and pdf files on the EICP site. It does not search through externally hosted content, i.e., does not follow a link to content on another website.

Searching:

To Search For	Example	Results
Both terms in the same page	access and basic —Or— access & basic	Pages with both the words “access” and “basic”
Either term in a page	cgi or isapi —Or— cgi \| isapi	Pages with the words “cgi” or “isapi”
The first term without the second term	access and not basic —Or— access & ! basic	Pages with the word “access” but not “basic”

Tips:

You can add parentheses to nest expressions within a query. The expressions in parentheses are evaluated before the rest of the query.
Use double quotes (“) to indicate that a Boolean or NEAR operator keyword should be ignored in your query. For example, “Abbott and Costello” will match pages with the phrase, not pages that match the Boolean expression. In addition to being an operator, the word and is a noise word in English.
The NEAR operator is similar to the AND operator in that NEAR returns a match if both words being searched for are in the same page. However, the NEAR operator differs from AND because the rank assigned by NEAR depends on the proximity of words. That is, the rank of a page with the searched-for words closer together is greater than or equal to the rank of a page where the words are farther apart. If the searched-for words are more than 50 words apart, they are not considered near enough, and the page is assigned a rank of zero.
The NOT operator can be used only after an AND operator in content queries; it can be used only to exclude pages that match a previous content restriction. For property value queries, the NOT operator can be used apart from the AND operator.
The AND operator has a higher precedence than OR. For example, the first three queries are equal, but the fourth is not:
- a AND b OR c
- c OR a AND b
- c OR (a AND b)
- (c OR a) AND b

Using Wildcards:

Wildcard operators help you find pages containing words similar to a given word.

To Search For	Example	Results
Words with the same prefix	comput*	Pages with words that have the prefix “comput,” such as “computer,” “computing,” and so on
Words based on the same stem word	fly**	Pages with words based on the same stem as “fly,” such as “flying,” “flown,” “flew,” and so on
