Exercise 4: Searching

Use keyword searches to find materials and processing methods.

  1. Find the material Polylactide.
  2. Find the process Vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM).
  3. Find materials used for "cutting tools".
    The search matches text on a datasheet. For example, a search for "cutting tools" would return all records with the phrase "cutting tools" in the record description or supporting information.
  4. Find the material Concrete.
    The search matches the record's folder name. If the search term appears in a folder name, all records under that folder will be returned. For example, a search for concrete would return all records in the folder named Cement and concrete e.g. Plaster of Paris.
  5. Enter the search term alum*.
    Records containing the terms Alumina, Aluminum or Alumino are returned.
