Keyword Search

This Keyword Search button is the easiest way to find things.

TIPS:
  1. Use quotation marks -- “626 W. Colorado”
  2. To narrow a search, use AND -- “Monrovia Days” AND “1986” to find only those.
  3. Try different spelling -- “626 W Colorado”, “626 West Colorado”
  4. Searches are not case sensitive (you can use MONROE, Monroe, or monroe).
  5. Keyword Search doesn’t look inside a document. You must open the document and hit the Control or Command key on your keyboard plus the ‘F’ key to open a window that lets you search within the document for a specific phrase.
