Search Help

Keywords
To do a search on Espace Courbe's Web pages, enter the keyword or the keywords that you're looking for, each separated by a space. Do not use stop words (e.g. the, a, an, of, etc.) because the search engine will show all the documents containing these words. By using keywords only, the search engine will show a list of all the texts containing them, with the excerpt where they appear.

Examples:
A search on specializes in Web design (without quotes) will show all the documents containing the words "specializes", "in", "Web" and "design".
A search on "specializes in Web design" (with the quotes this time) will show the documents containing the exact phrase "specializes in Web design".

Hyphens and apostrophes
You can use the hyphen or the apostrophe in your search string. The search engine merges all the words in which a hyphen or an apostrophe appears.

Example:
"back-office" is interpreted as "back" and "office".

Boolean expressions
A boolean expression is built with the English operators AND, OR and NOT. The operator NOT is interpreted as "to the exclusion of ".

Examples:
Search "programming NOT layout'', or search "programming AND PHP'', or search "security OR cryptography NOT ( training AND course), etc.

Please note

  • The search engine is case insensitive. It will respond the same way to either lower or upper case.
  • Use meaningful words. The more keywords you include, the more precise your results.
  • The Espace Courbe search engine (a link found on all pages of the site), indexes the documents that are available on-line from this site.
