Searching in NEN Connect

In NEN Connect you can search by standard number, standard title or keyword.

By default, the system searches ‘Not-exact’. Not-exact searches perform a ‘Google’ style search for the string entered in the search box. It searches by standard number, title, abstract and the full text standards themselves.

By clicking on 'Exact search' you can do an exact search by standard number or title, which only searches within those attributes.

Button 'Help' gives a brief explanation of searching with keywords.
