Search Techniques Reminder

Recent correspondence from IEC members experiencing difficulties with web site searches convinces us a reminder of some powerful specialized search techniques is in order. All rely on customized Google searches:

1. If you are searching the OGE web site for information on travel payments, you might enter a search request like this into Google:

1353 site:usoge.gov

The site:usoge.gov part tells it to search only that web site. Incidentally, this trick works on any web site. You can search IEC Journal by using this language: site:iecjournal.org.

2. Alternatively, you can enter your OGE search request at the following specialized web site set up by a helpful IEC member:
