Digital Parade Search Tips

Simple One Word Searches
To search for one word, just type in the word and click Search. (It is not case-sensitive.) The search engine will also return cases where the word entered is a root or variation of the word. For example, if you type work, you will also get episodes with works or working in them.

Searching For Multiple Words
To search for two words, either enter them together or join them with and or or. For example, entering work and play, and will result in locating episodes that have both the word work and the word play in them. Entering work play is the same as entering work and play. Entering work or play will get all the episodes that have the word work and all the episodes that have the word play in them (usually many more). In addition variations of these words will be returned as well.

Using Parentheses With Multiple Words
Use parentheses to join words that are to be evaluated together, particularly when more than 2 words are used.

Example #1 - (birds and cats) or dogs - results in episodes that have both the word birds and the word cats in them, or episodes with the word dogs in them.

Example #2 - birds and (cats or dogs) - results in episodes the have the word birds and the word cats in them, or episodes with the word birds and the word dogs in them.

Using Quotes
To search for an exact text string, use double quotes around it. For example, entering "cats and dogs", will return only episodes that have the extact phrase cats and dogs. Episodes that happen to have the word cats as well as the word dogs in them, will not be selected

Using Theme Search
Click the Theme Search checkbox if you wish to find programs relating to a particular theme or subject. It is best to enter a single word, such as "meteorology"
