The search bar (top of every page) matches article titles, headings, and key facts across all hubs. For the fastest results, search 2-4 specific words ("EV charging time" beats "charging"), or include a region word ("UK", "India") when you need country-specific rules. Results are ranked by title match first, then by how recently the article was updated.
At a glance
| Search habit | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Use 2-4 specific words | Narrows results to the exact topic, not the whole category |
| Add a region word | Surfaces US/UK/India-specific rules instead of Global defaults |
| Search by task, not jargon | "how to refinance a car loan" beats "refinancing" |
| Check the 'updated' date | Confirms you're reading the current version, not an older draft |
What the search bar actually indexes
Search looks at article titles, H2/H3 headings, the quick-answer summary, and the key-facts table for every published guide. It does not do a full-text scan of every paragraph, so very specific phrases buried deep in an article may not surface — search by the concept, not an exact sentence.
Getting better results
Be specific, not broad
A single word like "insurance" returns the whole hub. "comprehensive insurance deductible" returns the two or three articles that actually answer that question.
Add region when it matters
Loan terms, insurance minimums, and EV incentives differ by country. Adding "US", "UK", or "India" to a search filters out guidance that doesn't apply to you.
Search the task, not the internal term
Readers often know what they're trying to do before they know the industry term for it. "what to do after a fender bender" and "minor collision claim process" both surface the same insurance guide — use whichever comes naturally.
If search returns nothing useful
- Try fewer, more general words instead of a full sentence
- Remove brand or model names if you're researching a general concept
- Check the sitemap page and start from the relevant hub instead
- Use the Contact page to request a topic if it genuinely isn't covered yet
If a reasonable search returns nothing, it usually means the topic hasn't been published yet rather than a search bug. Requests logged through Contact directly inform which guides get written next.
