➤ Understanding Searches
When you search for words, the encyclopedia 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 articles, the encyclopedia then searches for
synonyms and related words.
Searches of more than one word find
matches regardless of the order or
proximity of the words. For example, if
you search for
space travel
, you will find
matches that have the words
space
