How to conduct a search
Use the form above to search for documents in
the Internet Health Library containing specific words
or combinations of words. The text search engine will display a weighted list of matching
documents, with better matches shown first.
Each listed item is a link to a matching
document; if the document has a title it will be shown, otherwise only the document's file
name is displayed. It is important to input the precise keywords to obtain a
true report of matches. You can also confine the search. Please click for an explanation of
how to input keywords, along with examples.
