Searching for Information

To search Discussion or TeamRoom documents for specific information:

1. Click Search at the top of the main Discussion or TeamRoom page.



2. Enter the words or phrases you want to find.



3. (Optional) Use the drop-down menu to select an option for sorting your search results.



• Relevance: This is the default option. Search results will be sorted in order of most to least relevant.



• Last modified: This option sorts search results beginning with the most recent document.



• First modified: This option sorts search results beginning with the oldest document.



• Keep current order: This option sorts search results in the order that they are found.



4. Select the maximum number of results you want to see.



5. (Optional) Select the "Use word variants" check box. If you select this option and search for the word "cat," documents containing words like "cats" will also show up in your search results. If you want to search specifically for "cat" and not for "cats," leave this check box blank.



6. (Optional) Select the "fuzzy search" check box. This option returns words that are similar to the words in your search and is helpful if you are unsure of the correct spelling of your search terms.



7. Click Search in the top right corner of the page.
