Search the Georgetown University Web
using the Harvest search engine.
Essential instructions for effective searches:
  • Search for phrases by putting search terms in quotes.
    For example, searching on: "information technology"
    finds all web pages containing the phrase: information technology.
    However, searching on just the words: information technology (without quotes)
    finds all web pages that contain both the word: information and the word: technology.
  • Search for web page titles only. If you are trying to find a particular homepage, limit your search to just words/phrases that appear in the titles of web pages. In the box below, type: title: followed by your search word (or phrase in quotes, as noted above), and press the ENTER key or the SUBMIT button.
  • Use Boolean operators (AND/OR) between two or more search terms to expand or limit searches. Use of OR finds all web pages that contain either search term. Use of AND finds all web pages that contain both search terms. Note: if no Boolean operators are used in your search, the search will automatically default to AND, i.e. a search on: Georgetown University will actually be a search on: Georgetown AND University.
  • Complex queries (searches) like the following are possible:
    "transcript information" and (title: registrar)

Change the default settings of your search:

    Show ONLY URLs and a brief description (from document title or meta-tag); search terms in context will not be included in search results.
    Case insensitive
    Include words
    in search results that begin or end with your search term.
    (i.e. a search on: just will find: justify and: unjust but not: unjustified.)
    Spelling errors allowed.
    (An error is either a deletion, insertion, or substitution of a single character.)

Type your search terms in the box below,
