Understanding Word Searches

When you search for words, the en-

cyclopedia searches first for

matches of the words in the titles of

articles.

If no matches are found in article

titles, it automatically searches for

matches in the articles themselves.

If no exact matches are found in ar-

ticles, the encyclopedia then

searches for synonyms and related

words.

Searches of more than one word

find matches regardless of the order

or proximity of the words. For ex-

ample, if you search for

space

travel

, you will find articles that have

the words

travel

and

space

in their

text or titles.
