Search:

Enter your search term or phrase in the textbox above and click the Search button.

The Search will automatically look for words with similar roots. For example, if you search for "water" you will also get results showing pages containing "watered," "watering," "waterings," "waterer," and "waters."

If you would like to perform a more targeted search, settings can be adjusted in the 3 categories that appear above the search box.

1) In the Match window, choose whether to search for web pages containing All the words, Any of the words, or some Boolean combination of words.

Match All Words to find web pages that include all of the words typed in a search. (This search mode is similar to using the Boolean "and" expression.)

Match Any Words to find web pages that include any of the words typed in a search. (This search mode is similar to using the Boolean "or" expression.)

A Boolean Expression is used to describe exactly what you are searching for using the terms "and" and "or" along with parenthesis to group specific words together. Examples of Boolean expressions that relate to water are shown below:

water and river
water or river
(water or river) and channel

2) In the Format window, choose Long or Short responses. Below are examples of the entries returned by each format:
