Warwick search engine
The Warwick search service assembles results from different sources on to a single page, with web page matches displayed alongside tabs for people, blogs and past exam papers. The search facility can be accessed via http://search.warwick.ac.uk
Within the search results page, a variety of helpful information is published, including interactive maps, important phone numbers, images and the option to search just within a single result.
Demo searches:- for the word “law” (notice the interactive map link, and the fact that you can then search just within the School of Law web site if you wish)
- for blogs mentioning “cycling”
- for 06/07 Economics exam papers with the word “math” in the title
In addition, search options allow you to search for images, audio files and video clips, as well as words or phrases within web pages, PDF files or Office documents. Audio and video content can be played directly within the search results page, and images are shown as thumbnails on the page too. You can also restrict your search by date or by section of the web site.
Demo searches:- Photos of the Warwick campus
- Podcasts about nuclear power
- Powerpoint files from Chemistry in the last three months, containing the word “molecule”
The new search service also returns matches for people when appropriate, displaying an email address, telephone extension and department on one page.
Demo searches:- People called Jackson
- People called 'Steve' in Economics (notice that results are returned for Steve, Steven and Stephen)
We hope that this search service will enable you to quickly locate the information you need, wherever you are and however and wherever you search from.
