You may use the search to look up a particular term, to search for specific contents in the website, or just to search the internet for related sites. We hope the following instruction will give you a good introduction to the features of our search option.

The three types of searches are as follows:

        Glossary - This option allows you to search for definition of terms in the online glossary.

        Website - This option allows you to search for contents in this website.

        Internet - Can't find it here? You can now search for things on the internet.

Wildcard Search

The search option allows wildcard searches! If you remember a word but you are not sure about the spelling, you can input a portion of a word followed by an asterisk. For example, if you want to find out about the word nucleus but you forgot the spelling, you can input nuc* and the search engine will return all words beginning with nuc and you will be able to find the definition for nucleus.
