How to Search
A search can be the fastest way to find specific information. You will get a better result by using specific or unique terms. Some search tips to help you are listed below.
You can search in two ways:
Quick Search
Enter a keyword or phrase and select the arrow. This will search the entire website.
Advanced Search
Enter a keyword or phrase and narrow your search to a particular subject.
Search Tips
Separate words by using the space bar on your keyboard.
The search engine automatically adds "or" between the words you enter so it will return those information items that include either or both of your search terms.
For example if you search for: students safety you will get a list of items which include either or both of the terms "students" or "safety". The information items returned are prioritised accordingly to how closely they resemble your search string. So those items which include both terms student and safety will be at the top of the returned list.
Using phrases by enclosing the words and/or numbers within double quotation marks ("like this") when you enter the phrase in the search text box. At the top of the returned list will be those information items which include the exact phrase that you have entered. Using a phrase search can be very helpful when searching for a specific name or title.
For example, by entering:
"Board of Trustees"
you will find any Board of Trustees material at the top of your search results.
Using keywords - A keyword is accessed from the Advanced Search screen. The Keywords feature provides a list of words and phrases that have been used to classify content within the Literacy field. Keywords will speed up your search and will make a positive result more likely.
Using Boolean operators - You can enter your search words connected by the operators AND and OR to fine tune your search results.
For example:
(student council OR code of conduct) AND ("policy")
The search results will include those information items which are closest to your specified search string at the top of a prioritised list.
Using Lower and Upper Case:
The Northland School searches are not case sensitive so, use can use upper or lower case.
