Search help

Most searches on Funnelback or other search engines consist of a single word or list of words e.g.

  • jobs
  • application form
  • "gene sequencing"

which you can type into the search box and get a list of results, with the most relevant content appearing higher in the list.

Things to note

  • In general, Funnelback tries to find documents which contain all of the query words (implicit AND).
  • Searches are case-insensitive i.e. "New York" and "new york" will be treated the same.
  • Words in Funnelback are any unbroken sequence of letters and/or numbers such as "Romeo", "1999" or "ENGN3410".
  • By default Funnelback will ignore very common stop words such as "the", "a", "of" etc.
  • Use quote characters around your query words if you want to match the exact phrase e.g. "World Music".
