If you are searching for specific information, you can use the keyword facility above to look at any entry on this website - simply type in the words you want and click Search
You can choose in which order you would like your results shown, by picking an option from the drop-down list on the right:
| By Relevance | Those with the highest word hit are shown first | | By Date - Newest First | The items added most recently are shown first | | By Section of the site | Results are grouped to show for example all News items, together and then all Press Releases |
Many sections of the site have their own search function, which may be easier than searching whole site.
All parts of an item are searched, including most attachments. If an attachment is presented only in PDF format, this is not searched.
Ways to improve the results of a search
| Quotes(") | If you are searching for a specific phrase, enclose the phrase in quotes (e.g. "car parks") to ensure the search only looks for 'car parks' and not for 'car' and 'parks'. | | Wildcard (*) | Use * at the end of a word to get results using all variantsof the word, e.g. test* will list items that contain any one of:test, tests, testing, tested | | AND, OR, NOT | Use to join or separate words in the same section of an itemor page (e.g. words in the title, or words in the page content),e.g. Dog OR Cat will return results containing either Dog or Cat,or both. Dog AND Cat will return only results containing bothDog and Cat | | NEAR | Use if you want to obtain results with your keywords within a few words of each other in the same section of an item or page, but you are not sure of the exact phrase used, e.g. Surrey Heath NEAR Council will return items containing "Surrey Heath Borough Council" and "Surrey Heath Council", but not one with Surrey Heath in the first sentence, and Council at the bottom of the page. |
