Optimised Internet Search |
| Eureka operates optimised Internet searching. This uses the entered search criteria and searches the world wide web (Internet) for sites which match Eureka's optimisation rules. These rules restrict results to only return relevant pages. |
|

| Preferred Supplier |
|
Basic entries on Eureka's website database for all appropriate organisations is free. Direct access to all suppliers' contact information is not restricted in any way for users looking for specific organisations by name. Similarly, all product or service search results include all matching records but may require a second click to display full listings. Inclusion of a company in any category is based on data provided by that company and while Eureka takes every care to ensure accuracy in the compilation of the data for the directory, the publisher cannot accept responsibility for errors and omissions. Updates and correction can be made to the online version by contacting administrator
Included in the site search is the optimised Internet Search (see above). Result rankings and inclusion in the results is governed by the content and technology of the suppliers' website pages as interrogated by the spider technology. The only additional ranking of these results is where returned websites are a Design Shortlist advertiser. These organisations are prioritised in all search results.
Suppliers advertising in the current Design Shortlist, and other selected suppliers advertising in the Eureka magazine, are given priority in the search results. All the returned product or service search results include all matching records from the Shortlist directory but may require a second click to display full listings.
Additional advertising and promotional features are available to all suppliers.

Search Logic |
|
The search is case insensitive, based on whole words (spaces, commas etc are ignored).
|
|
|
|
Eureka utilises Boolean AND logic e.g. Project manager UK is represented as
Project and manager and UK with the appropriate matching results returned. Other Boolean logic such as OR, NOT are allowed and can be entered as part of the search criteria, these would supersede the default AND logic e.g. Automotive OR Aerospace would return results matched to either Automotive or Aerospace.
To obtain specific phrase rather than word matching then place double quotes around
the text e.g. "Project manager".
