THIS SEARCH SERVICES PAGE HAS CHANGED!

Google's searching of the AIEL Website
has become less usable due to:

  1. Fewer AIEL pages now being examined.
  2. A pop-up box sometimes appears that overlies the search results.
  3. An increase in the number of sponsored links seen before AIEL links -- some of which are completely irrelevant.
  4. Some of the suggested AIEL links don't contain any of the desired search terms.
  5. Some suggested URLs are not even AIEL ones.
  6. Google (via Chrome/Chromium) flagging some URLs as `Insecure' even though this website uses no cookies, gathers no data from the user, nor requests any.

An Improvement
The DuckDuckGo search engine has been added
to accompany Google. See details below, or
move on to choose a Tips link and to
explore our various search aids.

Regarding this Page's Changes

Browser Specifics:   DuckDuckGo accepts requests made with all mainstream browsers, while the Google field will also work with older browsers and with text browsers that are http-capable only.

Differing Results:   Understand that Google will present fewer AIEL links, or sometimes none at all even though the pages exist. You can test this by placing search terms into each field in turn to see that the results will usually not be the same. Hence the necessity of two search fields. (To save time, once typed, copy & paste your search terms into the other search field.)

Peruse the URLs:   Whichever search box is used, please look at the path of each result to see that it's actually an AIEL link before choosing it.

Caveats:   Realise that you may still have to scroll past sponsored links, and/or that some AIEL links may not contain the desired term(s) which you had entered. To clean out many of the undesired results, you could place each term within double quotes and then repeat your search, but still, not all search engines will find these terms all of the time -- and it means extra time for you.

A perfect solution would be to use one search engine that
works as desired, but none seem to exist at this point.
Thus, more numerous and more reliable results can
be had by using both DuckDuckGo and Google.

A resolution to these issues is being researched.
The goal is to further improve the results of this
and those of our Photo Gallery Search page.

AIEL-Specific
Search


(Skip Search Tips and Examples)

    Search fields exclusive to the AIEL website will be given
after the examples. Enter search terms of one or more words,
or of phrases.

    Searches are not case sensitive, so capital letters will be
treated as if in lower case. Boolean search operators and
wildcard characters may also be employed, but some may
need to be capitalised, and not all are supported
by every search engine.

These include:
  and
  OR
* (asterisk)
- (minus)
+ (plus)
? (question mark)
~ (tilde)

    Note that complete words should be entered. Incomplete
words such as `ellip' instead of `ellipsoidal' will usually
return no results.

Examples

  • If you wish to find all AIEL
    pages that contain the
    word "ellipsoidal":
    ellipsoidal

  • If you want to locate "ellipsoidal"
    and "overhaul" as either
    separate terms or together:
    ellipsoidal overhaul

  • If you wish to find pages
    that have "ellipsoidal
    overhaul" as a phrase:
    "ellipsoidal overhaul"
  • If you want any instance
    of either "ellipsoidal" or
    "overhaul", or of both:
    ellipsoidal OR overhaul

  • If you wish to find pages
    that contain "ellipsoidal" but
    not the word "overhaul":
    ellipsoidal -overhaul

  • If you suspect a word
    other than "overhaul" might
    be used, employ a common
    synonym preceded by a tilde:
    ~fix ellipsoidal

    Successful searches should result in the presentation of links
for only the AIEL webpages containing the term(s) you entered.
Sponsored (advertisement) links may precede AIEL links.

    Once you go to any AIEL page, use your browser's intra-page
function, to further narrow the field so as to locate what you desire.
Intra-Page Search is explained in detail after the Search Boxes below,
then followed by examples.

Browser
Intra-Page Search


    Upon arriving on a given link's page, use your browser's built-
in "Search" function to quickly jump to where you want within that
page. This is a recommended method because it eliminates the
always dreaded `scroll & scan' procedure needed to locate
the text you desire that is somewhere in the current document.

    Depending on the browser, its own Search function is
typically invoked by pressing one of the following.

                BE CAUTIOUS!
Keys other than those your browser uses to
find text will produce non-search results.

    A box or field appears and you may enter the word or
terms for which you wish to search. If none of these key
commands work, consult your browser's "Help" guide.


 


AIEL Website
Layout Structure


    Our in-depth website now extends to 130 html documents
and another 39 .txt versions of instructional or similar pages.
Each of the large number of subjects is catergorised into its
own section or subsection. To gain a perspective of this,
overviews are given in a variety of forms to assist you:

  1. A Site-Wide Links Index lists all the first and second
    level pages. It is alphabetised and clickable.

  2. Graphic maps are available for persons wishing to
    visualise the website's structure. The 1012-pixel
    Large Graphic Map is for bigger monitors, while
    the Small Graphic Map at 640 pixels is suitable
    for those using smaller screens.

  3. We provide a Text Map for persons employing
    handicap-translation software or for those
    employing a text browser.

    Realise that for each of the preceding, only primary and
secondary levels are shown. This is done to ease overcrowding
of the Links List and Site Maps. Levels not shown but encountered
later, will always correspond by subject to the one directly above.
