RUDI content: how to find what you're looking for


There are several ways to search for content on RUDI:

Using the RUDI tagging system

Each piece of content on RUDI is tagged with specific labels. Tags are shown in alpabetical order, and larger tags mean that there is more content available with that tag. Simply choose the tag that you're looking for, click, and you'll get a list of all published content related to that subject.



Using the search function

Simple search using keywords

For example: brownfield housing
This will search for all content containing both brownfield and housing, in no particular order, and will find content such as "Housing has now replaced 34% of brownfield areas" and "Brownfield housing is 34% up on previous year"

Note: search is case insensitive

Simple search using phrases and/or keywords

For more specific searches on particular combinations of words, for example, design guidance, enter "design guidance" with quotes
or "design guidance" density
or "design guidance" density Manchester

The last example will look for a content with occurrences of design guidance that also have density and Manchester in them

Simple search using phrases and/or keywords and exclude certain keywords/phrases

For more specific searches on particular phrases without a speciifc qualifier, for example, design guidance except for London, enter "design guidance" -London

Note: use of the - [minus] symbol with no space before the following keyword means everything EXCEPT for that keyword

Please make sure the syntax is used precisely as above for the best results


Using quick links to grouped content

RUDI has also created a series of 'quick guides' to help users find useful content and get the most out of our extensive resources

This is an ongoing project, and we'll continue to work on adding more relevant links to news and existing content
