How can I maximize the effectiveness of my searches on AccessEngineering?
AccessEngineering has a powerful search engine that enables users to quickly find the answers they need.
The search engine used relies on Boolean operators. If you search for “power and supply”, our search engine performs four searches – one for each individual word and one for any combination of them. If you put the three words in quote marks, then it will search for the whole phrase. If you mean “or”, then put “or”. Advanced Search functionality is also available.
Filters make it very easy to narrow down search results. Available filters include engineering disciplines and processes, content type, and book title.
AccessEngineering search results are also supplemented by synonyms found in the INSPEC thesaurus. So if you enter ‘power and supply’, as well as the searches across each word and combination, AccessEngineering searches for synonyms related to each word.
