Search
A search text field appears at the top of the sidebar on the right of every page. Enter a search term and hit Enter or click the Search button.
Entering multiple search words will select any article that contains one of the search words (a logical OR). Example: martinez education will find any article that contains either martinez OR education.
To force all selected articles to contain a word, precede that word with a plus sign (+). Example: +martinez +education will find any article that contains both martinez AND education.
To exclude articles that contain a word, precede that word with a minus sign (-). Example: +education -martinez will find any article that includes education but NOT martinez.
Partial words will be matched. Example: Searching for tool will also find articles including words like toolbox or footstool.
If an article is long and you are having difficulty finding the search term within the article, you can use your browser’s search facility (usually invoked by Ctrl-F (Windows) or Cmd-F (MacOS)) to find the text on the page.
Tags
Each article is tagged with keywords that describe the sort of information it contains – for example, “Music” or “Recruiting Dancers”. The Tag Cloud button in the right sidebar displays all the tags that have been assigned to articles. The relative size of the tag indicates how many articles have that tag. To display the exact number of articles, hover your mouse pointer over a tag until a small box displaying that number appears.
Clicking on a tag, whether it appears in the tag cloud, in an article, or in other lists of tags, will take you to a page listing all the articles with that tag. On that page, you can filter the results both by Category and by another tag by using drop-down menus.
Tags vs. Search
Tags are applied to an article by the author and indicate that some part of the article is relevant to the subject covered by the tag. A search will deliver all articles containing that word, even if the word is incidental to the subject of the article.
Other Navigation Notes
Certain articles that collect many items, such as the article that contains a list of all CALLERLAB convention session audio recordings, cover virtually all subjects and will have been assigned many tags. To find specific items on specific subjects within those collections, try using your browser’s search facility.
Each article page contains a list of the categories and tags assigned to that article. The page also points to three related articles selected by a software algorithm. If you are browsing, this may help you find additional articles.
