The Subject Index is a database of Ministry of Forests and Range's Web
sites and publications. When new content is added to the Ministry's Web
site, Web publishers add this new information to the Subject Index database.
The Subject Index provides a better method to search for content than a
standard Internet search form.
The Subject Index,
What's New and A to Z Index
pages all use the same database but each display the information
in different formats.
There is a subscribe feature to be notified of
the latest items added.
The Subject Index is the primary search function and allows searching by
keywords, type of publication, business area and dates. Clicking "Search"
without entering any search criteria will return the entire database 25
records per page.
A keyword search is performed against the title and description of
items in the Subject Index and can be changed to search just the title. Place
double quotes around words to be treated as a phrase.
Select a type of publication or business area to limit
the search results further.
The date range can be narrowed to find sites and publications
published in a specific time period.
Search results are grouped by their type of publication and business area.
This can be changed to display the results by most recent or alphabetically.
The What's New page displays the most recent items posted in the Subject Index.
Ten records are displayed per page, a list of pages is provided at the bottom
to find older sites and publications. The "permalink" is a URL that points to a
specific What's New/Subject Index item. The permalink remains unchanged even
after the entry has dropped off the first page.
The A to Z Index displays all the items posted in the Subject Index
alphabetically. Select a letter at the top of the page to find sites
and publications that have titles starting with that letter.
This subscription page allows you to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to receive a
monthly email of the items that have been added to the What's New/Subject Index
in the past month. The email also includes a list of the Ministry's most recent
news releases. There is also the option to subscribe via RSS feeds to receive
immediate notification of new items posted.
