Searching
How to find information on this website
At top right corner of each page there is a Search box like this:
Click there, type in a keyword or two and press Enter, and you will see a snippet of each of the results from anywhere in the text of any page in this site - pages, news, products, it's all searched. Click in a snippet to see the full detail. Examples of keywords might be pollution or governance or aquaculture etc.
In most browsers you can also use Ctrl-F to search for text just within the page you are on.
Either way:
- You do not have to worry about upper or lower case, the system ignores case and searches for both.
- However you can't use logical operators like AND or OR or quotation marks to make it search for a phrase.
- Use the exact word you want, it doesn't automatically look for synonyms or related terms, or come up with suggestions for typos.
- It searches for each word you enter, even the trivial ones like and, the, of, and but. So instead of searching for get the facts, just search for facts.
For the best searching use a search engine such as Duck Duck Go, Google or Bing. All of our web pages are indexed by these search engines, though it may take a few days for them to pick up recent changes.
If you are using one of these search engines, searches for single or common terms may find thousands of hits. You can limit your search to the NOFF website only, by typing in your search terms, then a space, and then site:noff.au. So a search for aquaculture just within the NOFF website would look like this:
aquaculture site:noff.au
The syntax for a site search may vary, not all search engines are the same. Check in your browser or search engine's help screens.
