Search Tips

  1. Quick Search

    The 'Quick Search' capability from the title bar is designed to search (from any page) for EFP products by title and description. By clicking on 'MoF' you expand your keyword search to include all Ministry of Forests documents.

  2. Advanced Search

    The 'Advanced Search' capability allows you to order your search results alphabetically by title or chronologically by posted date. In addition, you can further limit your search by 'posted date'.

    Using Keywords Effectively

    By entering keyword(s) in the Search Text field, you can retrieve items whose Document Title or Description contains those words.

    By entering more than one keyword in the Search Text field you will retrieve all items containing any or all of the keywords entered. To retrieve documents containing all keywords, separate a string of keywords with 'AND'. To retrieve documents containing any but not all keywords (see example below), use 'OR' to separate the keywords.

    To search for phrases, such as all or part of a title, place double quotes around those words to be treated as a phrase. To search for multiple phrases, place quotes around each phrase.

    Using Dates

    By selecting a Starting Date (Month and Year), you will be able to search for all items posted on or after that date.

    By selecting a Ending Date (Month andYear), you will be able to search for all items posted before that date.

    Entering information into these fields will not affect subsequent searches.

    Some Search Examples

    Entering silviculture investment will return all abstracts containing the words "silviculture" and "investment".

    Entering silviculture AND investment will also return all abstracts containing the words "silviculture" and "investment".

    Entering silviculture OR investment will return all abstracts containing "silviculture", "investment", or both words.

    Entering "silviculture investment" will return all abstracts containing the phrase "silviculture investment".

  3. Searching the Entire Ministry of Forests Website

    If your search did not yield the results you were looking for, you can use the Ministry of Forests' full text indexing search cabability which will search the content of all web pages and word documents on the Ministry of Forests' Internet site.

    This type of searching can be useful if you are searching for broad results or do not have specific search result expectations. However, be prepared ot use narrow search criteria or sift through pages of results. Goto the Ministry's search page.
