Free-text Search
Enter a word or phrase in the search box and then click the Search button.
The results will be ranked according to the number of hits per document, with documents containing the highest number of hits being displayed first.
Next to each document in the search results there will be an icon indicating whether the document is an HTML file or an Acrobat PDF file. There will also be an indication of the size of the file.
There are some differences in the content and searching capabilities of the library on the CD version of the FC in comparison with that of the Internet version. The Internet version of the FC is searchable using the table of contents, or a free text search. On the CD, there is a table of contents, but not a free text search capability.
