The search facility is very easy to use. The search engine will display its results with a direct link to the document where it has found your word or expression.

Type in your word or expression in the box labelled 'search:' It can be anything e.g. OECD or treaty shopping etc.
 
In the first box labelled 'Match' you can select three types of matching from the drop-down list. Choose 'All' to match all words. Choose 'Any' to match any word. Choose 'Boolean' to initiate a complex search. Examples of correct Boolean expressions (typed in the 'Search' box) are: cat and dog, cat not dog, cat or (dog not nose).
 
Note that the operator not has the meaning of 'without'.
 
In the next box labelled 'Format' you may choose either 'Long' or 'Short' from the drop-down list. Choose 'Long' if you want to see the title of the summary and relevant paragraphs in the Search results. Choose 'Short' if you only want to display the titles of the summaries.
 
In the box labelled 'Sort by' choose from the drop-down list how you want the results to be displayed. Choose 'Score' if you want to display results according to what the search engine determines is closest to what you are looking for. Choose 'Time' to display results in chronological order of when the summaries were added to the website. Choose 'Title' to display results alphabetically. The 'reverse' options should be self-explanatory.
 
Once you have selected your options and typed in your words, click on the 'Search' button to initiate a search.
