Understanding Search

After you type in a search and click the 'Search' button or click Enter, you will see a list of websites that match your query in order of relevance, ten links per page.

Search results screen

Each website has a linked title, a description and an optional tier of government icon. An abbreviated URL is below the description to show you which parent website that result comes from.

Narrow Search By highlight box

You may see a Narrow Search By highlight box on the right hand side of the screen.

This offers related and narrower topics to the search you have entered.

Click a link in the box and a new search will be performed and any search results displayed for the selected term.

You may also see a 'Did you mean' link to a suggested different spelling of your search before any search results.

Click on the suggested search term to perform a search on that word or phrase

Click on a resource title and you will be taken to that website within the same browser window.
