Searching for Words

➤ Understanding 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

titles, it automatically searches for

matches in the articles themselves.

If no exact matches are found in ar-

ticles, then it 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’ll find

travels

through

space

, etc.

➤ Expanding Your Searches

To findmorematches, press

tothreetimesafter entering your word

search. When you press

, your

search expands to include

matches in

articles or synonyms and related

words, if they weren’t already found.

Highlighting Search Words

Another way you can search for

words is to highlight them in articles.
