How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

• By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
• By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
• By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
• By title – sorts results alphabetically.

How do I use the filters and the search box?

• You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

• Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

• To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

• Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

• You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

• You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

• Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

  • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

• Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

  • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

• This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

  • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

• The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.
