Searching a Keyword
Once you pick the method you want to use, add your text into the box and click on the Search button.
Here is an example of searching by a single keyword.
Search by keyword: examples: “Origami”
Click on the relevant page from your results to get to the content you want.
Searching a Phrase
You can also search by phrase by putting the relevant words in quotation marks. If you search by phrase and do not use quotation marks, you will see results for any of the words in a phrase. Note the difference between – a movie title from the movie of the day in quotes and without quotes. If you search for a movie of the day, such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, without quotes, you get many false hits. Without quotes, it will zero in on the correct title.
Without quotes, there are a number of other items in addition to what you are looking for. Note Caton Woods comes up in the search for “cat on.”
A search of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof entered with quotes around the phrase gives results limited to only the correct phrase.
Additional Searching Tips
Searching with quotes, although useful in the example above, might be too restrictive, if you are making up your own phrase.
For example, searching with quotes – “What is the Atrium menu for this week?” will yield no results. Instead, try your search using relevant nouns without quotes. In this case try the words atrium menu.
Once you have a list of search results, look at the accompanying descriptions to help you choose what looks best for your needs. The search link (red circle) directs you to the signature dining menu for the Atrium. The search link (green circle) directs you to the weekly menu.
Familiarize yourself with the menu bar near the top of the screen. It allows you to browse by category through the most popular topics.
On a desktop or laptop screen you can hover over a heading and a sub-menu will appear. Those sub-menus with a V beside them, have a further selection of choices.
Some examples:
The dropdown menu bar does not exist when one uses a tablet or smartphone to access the website.
Rather you will see three stacked blue bars (also called a hamburger) on the top right of the resident website homepage.
When a user taps on the hamburger, a list of the items in the dropdown menu appears. Scroll down your screen to see the entire list.
Our search does not work with PDFs
Keep in mind that the search icon does not search the internal content of a PDF, which is a picture of a page. You cannot look up “chocolate cake” to find which restaurant has it. See the PDF Help File.
