Tips for searching

  • Searching is simple, just type a single word and click on the Search Workers Online button.

  • Searching is case insensitive (case does not matter!). For example UNION or union will produce the same results.

  • Use truncation to find all words with a common prefix. For example, UNI* will find union, universe and university.

  • and, or & not boolean operators are supported

  • The default operator between search terms is and. For example union news is really a search for union AND news
