The Christadelphians
This search engine helps you find documents on this website and related sites. Here's how it works: you tell the search service what you're looking for by typing in keywords, phrases, or questions in the search box. The search service responds by giving you a list of all the Web pages in our index relating to those topics. The most relevant content will appear at the top of your results.
To use, just type your search words into the search box and click the search button.
Tip: Don't worry if you find a large number of results. In fact, use more than a couple of words when searching. Even though the number of results will be large, the most relevant content will always appear at the top of the result pages.

Fancy Features for Typical Searches
Webster's dictionary describes an "index" as a sequential arrangement of material. Our index is a large, growing, organized collection of Web pages and discussion group pages from around the world. The 'index' becomes larger every day as people send us the addresses for new Web pages. We also have technology that crawls the Web looking for links to new pages. When you use our search service, you search the entire collection using keywords or phrases.
When searching, think of a word as a combination of letters and numbers. The search service needs to know how to separate words and numbers to find exactly what you want on the Internet. You can separate words using white space and tabs.
You can link words and numbers together into phrases if you want specific words or numbers to appear together in your result pages. If you want to find an exact phrase, use "double quotation marks" around the phrase when you enter words in the search box.
For example, to find the book Elpis Israel by Dr Thomas, type "Elpis Israel" in the search box.
You can also create phrases using punctuation or special characters such as dashes, underscore lines, commas, slashes, or dots.
All searches are case insensitive and accent insensitive. Searching for "Fur" will match the lowercase "fur", uppercase "FUR", and German "für".
To make sure that a specific word is always included in your search topic, place the plus (+) symbol before the key word in the search box. To make sure that a specific word is always excluded from your search topic, place a minus (-) sign before the keyword in the search box.
Example: To find recipes for cookies with oatmeal but without raisins, try recipe cookie
By typing an * at the end of a keyword, you can search for the word with multiple endings.
Example: Try wish*, to find wish, wishes, wishful, wishbone, and wishy-washy.
You can search more than just text. Here are all of the other ways you can search this index:
link:address finds pages that link to the specified address, or a substring of it. Use link:christadelphian.uk.com to find all pages linking to the Christadelphian Office Website.
text:text finds pages that contain the specified text in any part of the page other than an image tag, link, or URL. The search text:NIV would find all pages with the term NIV in them.
title:text finds pages that contain the specified word or phrase in the page title (which appears in the title bar of most browsers). The search title:Christ would find pages with Christ in the title.
url:text finds pages with a specific word or phrase in the URL. Use url:christadelphian to find all pages on all servers that have the word 'christadelphian' in the host name, path, or filename - the complete URL, in other words.
