Search
You can search content and partner profiles from any page, by using the search box at the top pf every page. Just type in the information you are looking for and click on Site Content to search the entire site or on Partner Profiles if you are searching for information on a partner. Hitting the enter key instead of clicking on an option will by default initiate a Site Content search.

When you get to your results, you can refine them by clicking on the tabs on the search results page. For Content Searches there is a content tab and for Partner Searches, there is a partner tab. Both types of searches have a Relationships tab which will allow you to refine your searches based on how the content or partner is related to a particular PIP, Program, RNIF, Dictionary or Company.

Your initial Content Search scans the titles and descriptions of site documents and pages. You can expand this search criteria via the Content tab. Partner Search initially searches both the company name and company profile. For both content and partner searches, your current search criteria are listed on the right hand side in the blue column.

Search Tips
By entering more than one term in Content Search, you can search for resources that contain multiple terms, phrases and proximate terms.

The RosettaNet site supports the following search syntax.

Search Multiple Terms
To search for resources that contain a number of search terms, separate the terms with spaces, commas or "and."

term1 term2 term3
term1, term2, term3
term1 and term2 and term3

To search for resources that contain at least one of a number of search terms, separate the terms with "or."

term1 or term2 or term3

Combinations of "and" and "or" adhere to processing rules in which "and" takes precedence over "or." For example, the following searches for resources that contain "schedule and pip" or "pdf."

schedule and pip or pdf

You can override the precedence of "and" by using parenthetical groupings. For example, the following searches for resources that contain "schedule and pip" or "schedule and pdf."

schedule and (pip or pdf)

Search Phrases
To search for resources that contain a specific phrase, enclose the phrase in quotes.

"xml standards"

Search Proximate Terms
To search for resources that contain multiple terms appearing in close proximity, separate the terms with "near."

ten near becomes
