Search Information
- None of the searches are case sensitive. Searching for DOT will produce
the same results as searching for dot.
- All fields search for the string as it is entered and will return anything that
matches or contains that string. Searching for DOT in the Acronym field will return
results for DOT and DOTS.
- Acronym: This represents the acronyms contained in the source material. You would
use this search when you know the acronym but seek its definition. For example: To find
the exact definition for DOT, type DOT in the Acronym search box. You will receive the
full record for that query and any others that contain the string 'DOT' in their acronyms.
- Definition: This represents the definitions contained in the data. You would
use this search when you know the definition, or part of the definition, but seek an acronym.
For example: To find the exact acronym for Department of Transportation, type Department
of Transportation in the Definition search box. You will receive the full record for that
query and any others that contain the string "Department of Transportation" in
their definitions. You do not have to know an entire definition to obtain its acronym.
You may search for a keyword or a series of keywords.
- Alphabetical Listing: This function works differently than the Acronym and
Definition searches. To view a list of records whose acronyms begin with the same letter,
click that letter on the alphabet list. For example: To view all acronyms beginning with
the letter B, click B on the alphabet list. You will receive full records for all
acronyms that begin with the letter B.
