Hints for Using the Search Function of the Site

There are two main search facilities available within the site. The first is the main site search which looks through the actual contents of the EHS website and returns matching pages and documents based on the criteria you specify.

The second search facility is used to search for publications held on the site. The Publications Search allows you to search simply for EHS publications, or alternatively you can tailor your query to look for specific document types.

More detailed hints and tips on how to get the most out of the search facilities are available in each section.
