THE
SITE
How
do I report broken links on the site?
Report broken links and any other problems to Dal.Webmaster@dal.frb.org.
How
can I search for pages within the site?
Simply type the key words you wish to search for in the text box at the
top of each page and click "Search Our Site". The search engine
will return a list of all pages that contain the keywords you have entered
with the most closely matching results listed first.
- Search
Tips:
- Do
not use any punctuation or boolean commands in the search. For example,
a search with the key words "lending and equity" will return
pages containing the words "lending", "and" and
"equity".
- The
engine is not case sensitive, so it will find both upper and lower case
instances of your search term(s).
- It
is not necessary to type the entire word. For instance, the key word
"bank" will also find pages that contain the word "banking".
- Results are ranked
according to the percentage of the keywords found in the pages. For
example, a search with the keywords "monetary policy" will
return a relevance of 50% if "monetary" is in the page but
"policy" is not.
