What is an 'Index'? What is an Index? Webster's dictionary describes an "index" as a sequential arrangement of material. Our index is a large, growing, organized collection of all the information on the Video University Web Site. This 'index' grows as our site grows. When you use our search service, you search the entire collection using keywords or phrases. What is a word? When searching, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. The search service needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly what you want on the Internet. You can separate words using white space and tabs. What is a phrase? You can link words and numbers together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box. Example #1: To find lyrics by the King, type "you ain't nothing but a hound dog" in the search box. You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots. Example #2: Try searching for 1-800-999-9999 instead of 1 800 999 9999. The dashes link the numbers together as a phrase. Simple Tips for More Exact Searches All searches are case insensitive and accent insensitive. Searching for "Fur" will match the lowercase "fur", uppercase "FUR", and German. "für". The only time that case is important is when using quotation marks in your search. Including or excluding words: To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box. Example: To find recipes for cookies with oatmeal but without raisins, try recipe cookie Expand your search using wildcards (*): By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings. Example: Try wish*, to find wish, wishes, wishful, wishbone, and wishy-washy. |
