It is possible to search Monachos.net content by three separate means, all of which are accessible from the Search this Website & the Orthodox Internet link in the upper left-hand corner of every page. In addition, a 'quick search' field is available on every document page for instant searching (read more about the 'Quick Search' feature).

Option One (best): The Monachos.net Local Search Engine.

The best way to locate content on Monachos.net is through the powerful Monachos.net local search engine, which searches all document, article, source text and other text pages on the web site, returning weighted results with clear and concise descriptions of each page. Search parameters and results weighting are entirely user-adjustable, giving you precise control over results—or you can simply use the default settings which have been optimised to yield the best results for most searches. Results listings are returned with descriptive overviews of the contents of each page. This system intentionally does not search message board content (see below for Message Board searching), so as to yield precise results of document content.

Option Two: The Discussion Community Message Board Search.

A separate search engine exists for queries of the 24,000+ messages in the Monachos.net Discussion Community message boards. Full control of parameters—with search words, dates of posting, user names, threads, etc.—is available from the search screen. [Go to the Message Board Search Engine]

Option Three: The Google/Monachos.net Search System.

You can also use the Google/Monachos.net search system to query Monachos.net content via the famous Google search engine. Results are returned from both document and message board content, ranked according to Google's linkage-weighting system. There is some disadvantage to this method of searching, as the Google system's results listings do not provide thorough page descriptions as does the Monachos.net local search engine; and the combined document/message board results often make locating specific materials more cumbersome.
