Site Map

Search the web

The RBA Site Search box only searches the text and site descriptions that are on the RBA Web site. It does not search the content of the sites that are described. If you are having problems finding the information on the RBA web site, try the Google Search box in the menu bar on the left.

Check your spelling

Make sure that your search terms are spelled correctly.

Phrases - use quotation marks

Use quotation marks to find words which must appear next to each other, for example "air quality". Otherwise, the search results will include the words air and quality but not necessarily in that order. The words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document. Or you can just type the words and select 'Find EXACT phrase' from the pull down menu.

Any word

Just type one or more words to find any of the words and use the pull down menu to select Find ANY

All words

Type more than one word and select Find ALL to search for pages and documents containing all of your terms. This is the default search option

Boolean operators + -

Use + in front of each word or a quoted phrase that you require. Use - in front of each word that you want to exclude.

Boolean expressions: AND OR NOT ( )

Use AND, OR, NOT, ( ) to form a Boolean expression. AND requires, OR allows, NOT excludes. Use double quotes to protect the words "and", "or", or "not" in a phrase.

Examples
