UNITED NATIONS PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SEARCH OPTION FOR OFFICIAL DOCUMENT SYSTEM

NEW YORK, 15 April -- The United Nations announced the availability of an additional search capability on its Official Document System (ODS). In its current state, users have access to two search forms that use combined metadata and full text search options. The new addition, to be known as “Global Search”, is based on a very popular, widely used global search engine that will provide ODS users with familiar and flexible search options. Access to this search option may be obtained through http://documents.un.org, the home page of its public Official Document System or through specific language access points as follows:

http://documents.un.org/globala.html for Arabic http://documents.un.org/globalc.html for Chinese
http://documents.un.org/globale.html for English http://documents.un.org/globalf.html for French
http://documents.un.org/globalr.html for Russian http://documents.un.org/globals.html for Spanish
