Searching

Here are few search tips:

  • Search for the most general word first then choose a more specific word if you get too many results
  • Search words need to be at least three characters long
  • If you don't enter a word to search for and have chosen a category or a person, then you'll get a complete listing for that category or person
  • Matches in the title come before matches in the article
  • If you have chosen a category or an author and only few results are being returned then try choosing “All Speakers” or “All Categories”
  • If you search for lots of words you'll get results with at least a match of one word

Advanced searching with special characters:

  • Quotes "around words will search for that exact phrase"
  • A plus sign (+) at the beginning of a word means that the word must be found
  • A minus sign (-) at the beginning of a word means that the word must not be found
  • A tilde (~) at the beginning of a word means that word is less important than other words
  • An asterisk (*) at the end of a word acts as a wildcard character and will give you results that begin with the search phrase e.g.. bib* will return results that match bible, biblical etc.
