To search The Lighthouse for Education web site
click in the box below, type what you are looking for and click on the
grey "Search" button.
The search The Lighthouse
is powered by  .
This should improve the search facility on The Lighthouse. If on the
search page you click on cached at the end of the link
you will find the word or words that you searched for highlighted. You
will also find a 'Find (on this page)' if you click on the Edit menu
at the top of Internet Explorer which will take you straight to the
word or words that you are looking for.
We have also structured The Lighthouse for Education in order that you
should be able to easily find things. If you want specific web sites
use the Education Web Sites link.
To find information about a specific subject use the Subject
Index link.
(These are both available from the main menu)
You will find you can often also guess the address of an area. For instance
if you want to know about Video Conferencing the address
tlfe.org.uk/videoconferencing
will take you there. Another example is all the Maths material on The
Lighthouse. You can type in the following addresses and they will all
go to the same place:
tlfe.org.uk/maths
tlfe.org.uk/mathematics
tlfe.org.uk/numeracy
So have a guess! We hope this helps.
To get the best search results look at these tips:
- Use more than one word
Example: geography key stage 1
- Use similar words
Example: encyclopaedias encyclopedias dictionaries
- Use capital letters to be more specific. Sometimes
you get a better search by using a capital where it would normally
be used.
Example: maths will show pages containing maths, Maths and MATHS.
Maths will show pages that contain only Maths.
- Use quotation marks to find a phrase
Example: "Contact the ICT Team"
- Use plus (+) or minus (-) to find pages containing
the + word or phrase but not the - word.
Example: +Grimsby -Scunthorpe
- Use wildcards (use a * instead of one or more
letter)
Example: wh* will find the words what, why, when, whether and any
other word that starts with wh.
Searching for *her* will find the words here, whether, together, gathering
and any other word that contains "her" anywhere in the word.
- Make sure your spelling is correct!
