Search tips

Search tips

The search box at the top of each page lets you find items, specific releases of items, and news articles.

To search for whole words anywhere in the title or description of an item, release or news article, type those words into the search box and click SEARCH.

  • For example, try "imaging department".
    This will find anything with "imaging" or "department" in its title or description.
    To find anything with both "imaging" and "department", type "imaging AND department".
  • Upper and lower case letters are considered equal - "snomed" will find the word "SNOMED".
  • Note that common words, such as "a", "an" and "as", are left out of the search.

To search for part of a word, use the asterisk (*) character.

  • For example, to find everything beginning with "x", type "x*".

To search only titles, type "title:" before the search term.

  • For example, to find everything with "national" in the title, type "title:national".

To search only descriptions, type "text:" before the search term.

  • For example, to find everything with "patient" in the description, type "text:patient".

To search only items, releases or news articles, type either "type:item", "type:release" or "type:news" respectively, followed by "AND", followed by the remaining search terms.

  • For example, to find only news articles containing the word "pathology", type "type:news AND pathology".

To search for words with a similar spelling, add ~ to the end of the word.

  • For example, "patient~" finds "patient", "patient's", "patients", "inpatient" and so on.

A detailed guide to the query syntax can be found in the Apache Lucene documentation.
