What the Trade Press Says
To search InfoCentral, click on the "Advanced Search" link on the top navigation bar. This will show the search screen labeled "Advanced Search." Determine the search method that best meets your need (use "exact phrase" if unsure), enter your search term or phrase, select the document(s) you wish to search, and click the search button. Selecting no publication to search may result in a large number of hits. It is always best to narrow your search as much as possible to speed the return of results.
You can limit your search to specific documents and folders by clicking the small box to the left of each title found in the lower part of the search form. When no boxes are checked, the entire InfoCentral database will be searched. It is always best to narrow your search as much as possible to speed the return of results.
Search results will appear in a split screen. The search hits are shown in the bottom window and the documents are shown in the top window. Click on any of the underlined document titles (numbered) or highlighted search terms in the bottom screen to view corresponding content in the top screen. Search terms are shown in the top window highlighted in yellow. Use either the "Next Hit" or "Prev Hit" buttons at the top or bottom of the search hits screen to scroll through documents in the top screen.
Use the Table of Contents on the left side of the screen to browse InfoCentral.
