Search Tips

The Treasury website search facility has been designed to be both simple and flexible, and is always readily accessible in the right hand margin of the website.

Listed below are the different types of searches you might find useful. These search types may be used individually or in combination.

Phrase Search

Search for complete phrases by enclosing them in quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes ("like this") will appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them.

Classification Search

Content on the Treasury site has been classified into categories. You can choose to search within a particular category by selecting an item from the classification dropdown list.

Date Range Search

The Search facility allows you to search for content based on the date it was published. Dates should be entered in DD/MM/YYYY format. For example, if you wished to search for content published in the last six months of 2001, you would enter 01/07/2001 into the first date range box and 31/12/2001 in the second.

"AND" "OR" Search

The Search facility supports the logical "AND" and "OR" operators. To retrieve content that includes both word A and word B, use an uppercase AND between terms. To retrieve content that includes either word A or word B, use an uppercase OR between terms.
