Global Diversity Search Engine Tips

The Global Diversity Search Engine finds useful articles on the web on a range of topics such as multicultural societies, diasporas, immigration, refugees, race and ethnicity, cultural diversity, culture and health, mental health, research studies, and personal stories.

You may search in nine languages - English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, and Turkish by typing in a search term in that language. You may also access Korean or Chinese by naming the language in English.

To use this search page, you can look for a single word. Or, use the tips below to refine your search to find more specific results.

• Look for a phrase.
  EXAMPLE - type diversity training to find the exact phrase diversity training. Since the search is not case-sensitive, this is equivalent to Diversity Training.
  
  
• Look for two or more words at once by using the AND operator.
  EXAMPLE - type diversity AND training to find documents that have both the word diversity and the word training anywhere.
  
  
• Look for words that are close to each other by using the NEAR operator instead of the AND operator. When you use NEAR, the closer together the words are, the higher the rank of the page, so the higher it appears in the list of search results.
  EXAMPLE - type diversity NEAR training to match documents where the word diversity is within 50 words of the word training.
  
  
• Look for synonyms or similar words by using the OR operator. Note that if you don't use the OR operator and search using multiple words, the words are treated as a phrase.
  EXAMPLE - type race OR ethnicity to find the word race or the word ethnicity, but not necessarily both.
  
  
• Limit your search by using the AND NOT operator to exclude words.
  EXAMPLE - type multicultural AND NOT society to find all instances of multicultural, as long as multicultural is not followed by the phrase society.
  
  
• Use double quotes if you want to use AND, OR, NOT, or NEAR literally.
  EXAMPLE - type "diversity in the workplace" to find documents with the phrase diversity in the workplace. Without the double quotes, this query would use the NEAR operator instead of the phrase.
  
  
• Use a single asterisk (*) to look for words that begin with the same letters.
  EXAMPLE - type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on.
  
  
• Use a double asterisk (**) to look for all forms of a word.
  EXAMPLE - type fly** to match fly, flew, flown, and flying.
