Searching the website table of contents

Using the website search bar

You can use the following prefixes to search a word in a specific field, e.g. "author:Kaczynski":

  • author:

  • title:

  • topic:

  • source:

  • notes:

  • year:

The prefix only works with one word unquoted e.g. "title:Tainted". If you used "title:The Technological Society", it'd show you every text with 'the' in the title that discusses 'society' also. So, you need to add quotes for longer titles you're looking up e.g.:

title:"The Technological Society"

Also, regardless of prefix, if you want to find a text where a specific sentence or multiple specific words are used, it's worth putting the sentence in quote marks.

If you still find the search bar frustrating, you can always use a search engine like google and just ask it to only search within this website by adding "site:thetedkarchive.com" to whatever you search.
