Search Resources

Three options are now available for accessing Sea Grant information via search engines.
  1. Search the Sea Grant News Media Center web site.
  2. Search the Sea Grant News Coastal Science Experts Guide.
  3. Search the entire 30-program Sea Grant network of web sites.
OPTION #1: Search the Sea Grant News Media Center Web site.
You can search the Sea Grant News Media Center web site using a phrase or a set of words (either any or all of the words in the set). The search is case insensitive (e.g., Marine is the same as marine). You may use the asterisk (*) for a wildcard search for your phrase or any of your words (e.g., oyster* will find pages that contain oyster, oysters oystermen,etc.).
Search For:  
As a phrase Any of these words All of these words

OPTION #2: Search the Sea Grant News Coastal Science Experts Guide. Click here to link to Experts Guide search page.
OPTION #3: Search the entire 30-program Sea Grant network of web sites.
(Results may take a minute or so to display. Please be patient. Results will display on a page from NOAA's National Sea Grant Office Web site. See Tips below for more information about using this search option.)

Tips for Sea Grant Network searches:
  • The case of letters doesn't matter: All searches are case insensitive. This means you don't have to know whether a word is capitalized or not, or whether it is a title in all caps. For example, searching for "help" will match both "help" and "Help".
  • Each word is treated as a prefix: A word on a Web page will match your search string if it begins with the same letters. Thus, "bread" matches "bread", "breads", "breaded", "breading", and "breadth". (If you check the "match exact words only" checkbox, then the whole word must match your string--that is, "bread" will only match "bread".)
  • Words in a phrase must be near one another: When you enter more than one word to search for, Web pages will be selected only if all the words you enter appear close to one another, typically in the same sentence or paragraph. Notice that this is different from most Web searches, where pages are chosen if the words appear anywhere on a page.
  • The order of words in a phrase doesn't matter: If you enter more than one word, they will match a Web page if the same words appear near one another in any order. For example, "Mount Everest" will match "Mount Everest", "Everest Mountain", and "that awesome mountain, the great Everest".
  • Common words and short numbers are ignored: Some words appear so commonly on Web pages that the search engine ignores them. In addition, words shorter than three letters are ignored.
