Quick Tips and Examples

It's easy to search the Urban Upgrading site with Google. Just type in a few words or phrases. Try to use discriminating terms that are likely to be found only in the documents you seek. The more words you give, the better results you'll get. Here are some examples:

Search by typing words and phrases.

what type of project is appropriate for upgrading

Infoseek will find documents containing as many of these words and phrases as possible, ranked so that the documents most relevant to your query are presented first. Don't worry about missing a document because it doesn't have one of the words in your search -- Infoseek returns relevant results even if they don't contain all query terms.

Identify phrases with quotation marks, separate with commas.

"how not to design" for the poor, "Vitas"

A phrase is entered using double quotation marks, and only matches those words which appear adjacent to each other. Separate multiple phrases or proper names with a comma.

Use UPPER case to indicate exact match.

MicroPlanning, CAP

Search terms in lowercase will match words in any case, otherwise, an exact case match is used. For example, cap will find matches for Cap, cap, and CAP, whereas a query for CAP will only match CAP.
