SEARCH FUNCTION

General search function

In the search box, which is always at the top right of the website, you can search for staff and web pages on the website. When you start typing a word, keyword suggestions will appear on the most common searches right now:

You can select one of the suggestions from the Autocomplete, or type your own word and press Enter / on the search button.

Tip

• It is better to search for one or two words, rather than writing phrases. For example, write "distance education" instead of "what distance education do you have".
• If you do not find what you are looking for, then just try synonyms and / or inflections of words. For example "Exam", "examination".
• Make sure you spell it correctly.

The search function searches for all content on the website. After a search, you can filter in different ways. If you are an employee, you can log in, and then get hits on our Staff Portal as well.

How can we improve the search?

Feel free to contact us about the search service via e-mail webmaster@hv.se.
