One Click Searches & Pro Tips

Like Google, Ismaili Digest lets you search the full text of all content we link to. This means if you remember seeing something from Ismaili Digest you can search for it directly here and find it again.

Finding content published on a day or in a month

To search all content published today or yesterday add "[today]" or "[yesterday]" to your search term. Alternatively, enter "today" or "yesterday," by themselves, with nothing else.

To search all content published on a specific date or month, add the date to your search terms, spelling the month in full. If you do not specify a year, the current year will be used.

To find all content published on a specific date, search the date by itself, with no other keywords. For example, to find all content published:

• today, search for: [today]
• on July 11, 2017 search for: 11 July 2017
• in July 2017 search for: July 2017 or July

Reviewing all content from a particular website or Ismaili Digest category

To quickly review all content from a particular website (such as the.ismaili or Simerg), or from an Ismaili Digest category (such as Ismaili Ignition or Off The Beaten Track), click on the grey website/category name under the image, or select the website/category from the menu.

Alternatively, in the search area, enter the category's name or abbreviation (listed below) surrounded by square brackets, by itself. For example, to review all content:

• from the Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), search for: [iis]
• from The Ismaili - Nutrition Centre, search for: [food] or [nutrition]

Searching a specific website or source

To narrow searches to a specific website or source (like a YouTube channel), add the source name, enclosed in square brackets [], to your search terms. For example, to search all content:

• from NanoWisdoms with the word "nuclear", search for: nuclear [NanoWisdoms]
• from AKDN YouTube channels search for videos related to Africa, search for: Africa [AKDN - YouTube]

To search for content from a specific source published on a specific date, add a date (as explained above) to your search terms. For example, to find:

• all jubilee content published by the.ismaili on July 11, 2017, search for: [theismaili] july 11 2017 jubilee
• news items published by IIS on November 18, 2018, search for: [iis] news November 21 2018
• news items published by Ismailimail today, search for: [ismailimail] [today]

To make it easier to search specific websites or sources, you can use the following abbreviations in place of the full source names:

Searching for YouTube videos

To search for all YouTube videos, no matter from which (channel), use "SOURCE LINK: https://www.youtube.com" (with the double quotation marks). For example:

• to search for all YouTube videos use: "SOURCE LINK: https://www.youtube.com"
• to search for all YouTube videos related to Alamut, search for: "SOURCE LINK: https://www.youtube.com" alamut

Like Google, Ismaili Digest lets you search the full text of all content we link to. So, although we only publish 60-word digests, we do, however, cache the full content, like Google Search does, so now the community is able to search all the main Ismaili sites at one go. This means if you remember seeing something from Ismaili Digest you can search for it directly here and find it again.

For example, if you want to find out about Tajikistan, you can find what all the websites have without having to search each site individually.
