Search Search Hightlighed Image

The system performs the query based upon these five fields:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Author Name
  • Subject
  • The Document itself
Note: If you are searching for a single word, using quotation marks does not affect the search results.

However, if you are searching for a phrase containing more than one word, quotation marks play a role. For example, entering "marine protected areas" (with quotation marks) will return fewer results than entering marine protected areas (without quotation marks). For more information see item 3 below, regarding what you want to search for.

The Advanced Search in NOAA Institutional repository provides robust searching capabilities within the repository site.
Getting Started Search Box

The default is to search across all of the entire repository ("All Collections").

      1. To specify a single collection, select an item from the Collections drop-down list.
        Advanced Search Box All Collections

        You can select up to three search categories and corresponding keywords using the fields above or you can select only one field and click the Search button.

      2. Select where you want to search from the Category drop-down list:
        Advanced Search Box All Collections
        Advanced Search Categories:
        • Title
        • Personal Author
        • Corporate Author
        • Conference Name
        • Description
        • Subject
        • Genre
        • Document Type
        • Series
        • Publication Date
        • Source
        • DOI URL
        • DOI
        • Funding
      3. Input what you want to search for.
        Advanced Search Input 1

        Note: If you enter two words separated by a space, one combined result set is returned. This input acts like first word OR second word.

        For example, keying Hurricane Katrina returns a list of documents that contain the word Hurricane combined with a list of the documents that contain the word Katrina.

        However, to obtain a more precise match from your search, phrases must be enclosed in quotation marks. Keying"Hurricane Katrina" (with quotation marks) returns the list of documents that contain the entire phrase Hurricane Katrina.
