Searching for Words
➤
Understanding 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
titles, it automatically searches for
matches in the articles themselves.
If no exact matches are found in ar-
ticles, then it 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’ll find travels through
space, etc.
➤
Expanding Your Searches
To find more matches, press
MORE
up
to three times after entering your word
search. When you press
MORE

search expands to include matches in
articles or synonyms and related
words, if they weren’t already found.
