Search Methods

    Typical Keyword Search
    • The best way to search and accurately find an available article or topic is by typing slowly into the search box and choosing from a keyword string displayed as you type. This methodology is used to try to show you what is available so you can quickly find what you are looking for (if it is available).
      • Note: Only 10 options will display at a time from the drop down options.  Other options may exist, so you may have to keep typing to show more results or to narrow them down or you can try starting with another keyword.
    • You can start a new search from the homepage or any article page.
    • If what you are typing is not showing up as an option, please either continue typing the words out so that the options narrow down or you can try starting with another keyword or try the options below.
