Search tips

A search box appears at the top of each page. To get the best results follow these tips:

• Use keywords - the search won't work well using natural language (eg 'how can I find out about STFC?'), keywords (eg 'STFC') will find better results.
  
  
• Use quotes to search for an exact phrase (eg 'webmaster').
