Help and General Introduction
UCI's Faculty Profile System is the "virtual" family of UCI researchers whose professional biographies are available over the Web and searchable by name, department, key word or full text data fields. E-mail links are built in to each record for easy communication, as are links to personal or departmental web pages.
Introduction to general features
Search
- Search on any term in profile
The first search box allows you to search fort a term that occurs anywhere in a profile. This is used to search for a specific term, such as "Biology." - Search on name only
If you know their name and are interested in finding out information about a specific faculty member, this is the search you want to use. - Search by Department
If you want to find someone with a specific area of expertise, but aren't quite sure where to start, whis might be the best way. - Sounds like
The "Sounds Like" search allows one to find all names that sound similar. For example, doing a Sounds Like search for "Smith" will return everyone with the last name of "Smith" and "Smythe." - Re-indexing
This search engine works by creating in index of almost all the words ion a profile and their location. Every hour the sofware controlling the faculty profile system will check to see if there has been any changes to the profiles. If there has been a change the index will be regenerated. The result of this is that searches agains a newly changed profile might not work like expected until the index has been updated.
