Find News Releases

We’ve compiled six years of Embry-Riddle news releases to provide a comprehensive view of the most recent industry-leading research projects and other important developments at Embry-Riddle in the areas of aviation, aerospace, business, engineering, safety and security, transportation, and others.

Please note that a news release is accurate on the date it is issued -- if you plan to use information from an Embry-Riddle news release, particularly an older one, it’s always a good idea to check with Embry-Riddle Public Relations personnel for updated details.

Search Basics (adapted from Google)

This function only searches news releases, both current and archived. It is powered by the Google search engine and functions in a similar way.

For simple search just type whatever comes to mind in the search box, hit Enter or click the Search button, and Google will search our news releases for content that's relevant to your search. Most of the time a simple search is all that is needed.

Points to remember

• Every word matters. Generally, all the words you put in the query will be used.
• Search is always case insensitive. A search for (pilot training) is the same as a search for (Pilot Training).
• Generally, punctuation is ignored, including @#$%^&*()=+[]\ and other special characters.

Tips for better searches

• Keep it simple. If you're looking for a particular college or department, just enter its name, or as much of its name as you can recall. If you're looking for a particular concept, place, or product, start with its name. Most queries do not require advanced operators or unusual syntax. Simple is better.
• Think how the page you are looking for will be written. A search engine is not a human, it is a program that matches the words you give to pages on the web. Use the words that are most likely to appear on the page. For example, instead of saying (my head hurts), say (headache), because that's the term a medical page would use. The query (in what country are bats considered an omen of good luck?) is very clear to a person, but the document that gives the answer may not have those words. Instead, use the query (bats are considered good luck in) or even just (bats good luck), because that is probably what the right page will say.
• Describe what you need with as few terms as possible. The goal of each word in a query is to focus it further. Since all words are used, each additional word limits the results. If you limit too much, you will miss a lot of useful information. The main advantage to starting with fewer keywords is that, if you don't get what you need, the results will likely give you a good indication of what additional words are needed to refine your results on the next search. For example, (weather cancun) is a simple way to find the weather and it is likely to give better results than the longer (weather report for cancun mexico).
  
• Choose descriptive words. The more unique the word is the more likely you are to get relevant results. Words that are not very descriptive, like 'document,' 'website,' 'company,' or 'info,' are usually not needed. Keep in mind, however, that even if the word has the correct meaning but it is not the one most people use, it may not match the pages you need. For example, (celebrity ringtones) is more descriptive and specific than (celebrity sounds).
