The Basics of WebTech Search

To enter a query into WebTech, just type in a few descriptive keywords and hit the 'enter' key (or click on the Search button) for a list of relevant web pages. Since WebTech Search only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query, refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages WebTech Search found for your original "too-broad" query.

Choosing Keywords

For best results, it's important to choose your keywords wisely. Keep these tips in mind:

Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on Solar Cell, enter "Solar" rather than "Cell".

Use words likely to appear on a site with the information you want. "Informed Design Cycle" gets better results than "design process for safety light system".

Make keywords as specific as possible. "breadboard" gets more relevant results than "electrical board".

Automatic "or or and" Queries

By default, WebTech only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "or or and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more terms. For example, to get the information about dehydration, simply type: dehydration

Capitalization

WebTech searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for "ohm's law ", "OHM's Law", and oHm'S lAw" will all return the same results.
