Search Help

Searching for documents on NationalService.gov is easy and works just like searching with Google, Bing, or any number of search engines. Just type in a few words or phrases in either the search box above or in one the search boxes located at the top of every page. Try to use discriminating terms that are likely to be found only in the documents you seek. Here is an example:

By typing Michigan, you will return all documents containing the phrase "Michigan".

By typing Detroit, Michigan, you will narrow your results, returning only the documents that contain the phrase "Detroit, Michigan".

Refining Your Search

Once you've performed your first search, a box will appear that allows you to further refine your search.  By default, the search engine searches all Corporation websites (NationalService.gov, SeniorCorps.gov, AmeriCorps.gov, LearnandServe.gov, MLKDay.gov, GetInvolved.gov, AmeriCorpsWeek.gov, and Serve.gov).

• If you would like to narrow your search to only the website that you're currently on, select "Search only NationalService.gov".  This will return all matching pages for only NationalService.gov, and does not include results from the Newsroom.
   
• If you would like to search only the Newsroom and exclude the rest of the site, select "Search the Newsroom".
   
• If you would like to expand your search to include results from our Training and Technical Assistance websites, select "Search the National Service Resource Center and the Service Learning Clearinghouse"
