➤Understanding Word Searches

When you search for words, the en- cyclopedia searches first for matches of the words in the titles of articles.

If no matches are found in article titles, it automatically searches for matches in the articles themselves. If no exact matches are found in ar- ticles, the encyclopedia then searches for synonyms and related words.

Searches of more than one word find matches regardless of the order or proximity of the words. For ex- ample, if you search for space travel, you will find articles that have the words travel and space in their text or titles.
