Tips for Keyword Searching

To get an initial feel for bid results, it's best to start out searching broadly. For example, use a single keyword if it is both unique to your industry and frequently used in bid notices -- e.g., janitorial or custodial. If you start out using two or more words, you may miss relevant bid opportunities -- e.g., janitorial services will miss bid notices where the title reads "Services, Janitorial."

Common Words

Do not enter common words such as Inc, the, to and any. Oracle ConText rejects these words in order to speed up search time.
