Spend Less Time Looking, More Time Teaching!
 |
Your time is precious. We respect that. That's why we've listened to your suggestions and improved our searching in the Web Library. It now models those search engines you use everyday.
The end result is new and improved searching. Now you'll spend less time looking and more time teaching!

Note: Searches are case insensitive; text can be entered in either uppercase, lowercase, or a combination of both.
Search accuracy will now increase using the following operators:
- "&" Searches (AND operator)
If a common word is essential in getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "&" between the words.
Example: Lincoln & Ford
Search Results: All sites which contain both Lincoln and Ford. It functions as the AND operator.
- "|" Searches (OR operator) (Accessed using Shift + \)
If either of two or more words are essential in getting the results you want, you can include a "|" between the words.
Example: Lincoln | Ford
Search Results: All sites which contain either Lincoln or Ford. It functions as the OR operator.
- "( )" Searches (GROUP operator)
Use the "( )" operators to perform more complex searches. All search requests inside of the GROUP parentheses are performed first.
Example: (Lincoln | Abraham) & President
Search Results: All sites which contain either Lincoln or Abraham and also contain President. This may be helpful in locating sites specifically about President Lincoln.
