Search help
Find out how to get the best out of the site search and find the content you are looking for.
Running a quick search
You can do a quick search from anywhere on the website by typing 
your search term(s) into the Search box at the top of the page.
Add one or more search terms. For example, if you type in Knowledge Exchange the search will look for content which contains both terms.
Custom Search pages
A number of specific areas on the site offer an additional search filter:
When you open any of these pages you will see a complete listing of all relevant items. Use the search filter to narrow your list down by:
- Type of publication or content.
- Date range.
- Year.
- Sector.
- Area of interest.
- Regional relevance.
You can use any of these areas to narrow your search or combine them to make your search results even more relevant, for example all consultations from 2014 for the university sector only that are Research related.
Please note: combining the above search search types will search on an AND basis and not OR. This means that, the more filters you use, the more relevant your results should be.
Searching by reference number
An additional reference number search option for sector communications can be used when you know an item's reference number. This option is intended to be used on its own and cannot be combined with the other search filter areas. Use it when you only want to find one particular item.
Archive material
To keep our site fresh and up to date, we remove older material each year but you can still access it from SFC archived content.
If all else fails...
and you still can't find what you're looking for then contact webmaster@sfc.ac.uk with details of what you are looking for.
