You can search news archives at U.Va. using one of two Web search engines. The first, Harvest, limits its search to the University's news directories and indexes nightly. The second, Google, searches all of "virginia.edu" and indexes on a less frequent schedule, probably monthly.

SEARCH TECHNIQUES
The simplest keyword search will retrieve the greatest number of results--often not what you want. A more complex search will retrieve fewer results, but each one is more likely to be what you are looking for. Note that many of these techniques are used in all the search programs you will encounter on the Web.

SINGLE KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Drama. This is the simplest kind of search and is likely to return hundreds or thousands of entries.

MULTIPLE KEYWORD SEARCH
For example, Internet and training or training or courses. Use the modifiers AND and OR to link keywords together into a single search. Keywords linked by AND will return all entries that contain BOTH of the keywords. Keywords linked by OR will return all entries that contain EITHER of them.

PHRASE SEARCH
For example, "Electrical Engineering". Place multiple words inside quotation marks to get results that contain that exact phrase.
