Searching for a particular article

On the left side of the screen, there is a box, titled Search. This is the Search Box, in which you type what you are looking for and then press the Enter key or click the Go or Search key under the box. This will allow you to search Debatepedia. Depending upon the size of your screen, if you do not see the Search Box on the left side of the screen, then you need to scroll the entire page down until you find the Search Box.

It is important to note, though, that different articles on Debatepedia have different kinds of titles. You will have to account for this when searching in the search box, typing in the appropriate prefix for the particular topic you are seeking. Here are some of the different types of articles on Debatepedia:

  • "Debate:(Title of Debate)"
  • "Argument:(The Argument)"
  • "Positions:(Title of the debate around which positions are held)"
  • "Debatepedia:About" (And other Debatepedia related pages).
  • "Group:(Name of team, organization,...)"
  • "Portal:(Name of portal page)"
  • "Category:(Name of category)"
  • "IDEA Standards:"

Try Google also. Google's search engine is certainly superior to the one on this wiki. Therefore, you may find it more effective to rely on Google when searching for an article on Debatepedia. If you are searching for a debate article(s) on Capital Punishment, you could type "Debatepedia, Capital Punishment Debate" into Google, and you would probably get what you are looking for.
