Search Help   1. SmartNet search features (1). Web page search Searches texts in the hyperlinked web pages in the web site. (2). Menu search As the web page search covers a wide range, search speed is slower and search result could produce unnecessary information. If the information the user needs is in the main menu, menu searching reduces the search range and search is limited to the information in the web pages in the menu. Thus, search speed is faster and search result is more accurate. For example, if the user wants to search information on citizen service, search in the "Electronic Citizen Service," and on city(county) policy in the "Office and Division Web Sites" for faster and more accurate result. (3). Searching all bulletin boards In the web page search, specific information in the bulletin board is not searched. To search the information in the titles and contents of all bulletin boards in the integrated bulletin board, use the bulletin board search. Then, messages posted can be searched real time. (4). Searching individual bulletin board As searching of all bulletin boards searches all bulletin boards, the search range is broad but the search speed is slower. Searching individual bulletin board selects the bulletin board within the information range and searches in the bulletin board only. (5). Meta search This search does not limit the search to the web site only. This search method uses web page searches in major Korean search engines(Empas and Naver) and retrieves results. (6). News search This method uses news searches in the web sites of major Korean newspapers and retrieves results. 2. Configuration of SmartNet search screen (1). Search combo box Consists of Web search, Meta search, News search, All Bulletin Boards search, and Individual Bulletin Board search. The default setting is Web search. (2). Search tabs Consists of Web page search, Main menu search, Meta search and News search. Select one to search within the area. For example, when the user searches for search terms "information on citizen service," web page search results are displayed as a default. When the user selects the 'Office and Division Web sites" tab, only the results searched in the office and division web sites are displayed. (3). Search help The user can see SmartNet help features. Refer to search help for more advanced search using 'and, or, not'. (4). Search results Search results consist of the following. Title : Shows the web page title tag. If a document does not have a title, it is displayed as "No Title" or "Untitled Document". When the user clicks on the title, the associated web page is opened in a new window. If it is a bulletin board search result, it is the title of message in the bulletin board. Click on the title to display the corresponding message in a new window. Excerpt : Shows the excerpt containing the keyword in about 160 words. URL : URL of the web page. *When no result was found After executing web page search, "Didn't find any pages matching the search term" might be displayed. It indicates either no information related to the search term was found or one of the following. (1) The site requires log in A robot is a program starts from the URL of the web text first visited and visits all web pages linked from there and retrieves documents. When the robot visits a web site that requires log-in, it can not view the content or retrieve the document. (2) Sites using flash The robot can not see the flash source, thus it can not retrieve the web page. (3) Hyperlink is in Java script variable The robot does not know the Java script variable, and it can not visit the web page. (4) Robot excluded sites A web master who does not want his/her web site information to be exposed to search engines might block robots from taking the web page information. In this case, the robot can not retrieve the web page. (5) Recently updated documents As the robot visits and retrieves information from the web pages at a regular interval, it reflects recently updated content. However, between the interval, the updated content might not be reflected. 3. Search method Basic search Enter a search word or sentence in the search term input box(For example: Administrative service) and press the Search button or hit the Enter key. Then, excerpts of web pages related to the search term "Administrative service" are displayed. Press the title of the site wanted in the search results to open the associated site in a new window. SmartNet searches all the web pages containing the search term separated by space. Specific search - Excluding a search word To exclude a certain word from the search result, enter " not 'the word to be excluded'" or " ! 'the word to be excluded'" after the search term. Be sure to enter space before and after "not" and "!". (For example “news not information”) - Search within the search results Click the link "search within the search results" on the top right to enter a new search term. As the search is done within the search results, the user can find more specific information. To cancel it, clik it one more time. - Boolean search Boolean search is a method of searching using logical operators 'and, or, not' between search terms. (1) Automatic "and" search SmartNet retrieves all pages(or bulletin board messages) that include all search terms. There is no need to enter “and” between terms. The user just need to separate words. (2) "and(&)" operation SmartNet search supports "and" operation between two words. Search term "A and B" retrieves pages that include both A and B. For example, to search pages containing both “citizen” and “participation,” enter “citizen and participation” or “citizen & participation.” n addition, SmartNet supports automatic "and" search as discussed above. Entering search term “citizen participation” retrieves the same results as the search using “citizen and participation” or “citizen & participation.” (3) "or(|)" operation SmartNet supports “or” operation between two words. "A or B" retrieves pages including A or B. For example, to search a document including “hospital" or “clinic,” enter as follows. “hospital or clinic” or “hospital | clinic.” (4) "not(!)" operation SmartNet supports “not” operation. "A not B" retrieves pages not including B from the search results including A. For example, to search documents including “news” but not “information”, enter “news not information” or “news ! information”. Copyright © IACTS Corp. All Rights Reserved.
