To enter a query into Aquatechtrade.com, just type in a few descriptive words and hit the 'enter' key or click on the 'Go' button for a list of relevant companies. Since Aquatechtrade.com only returns Company Presentations that contain all the words in your query, refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages Aquatechtrade.com found for your original 'too-broad' query.

Choosing keywords

For best results, it's important to choose your keywords wisely. Keep these tips in mind:

• Try the obvious first. If you're looking for information on Pumps, enter 'Pumps' rather than 'Equipment'
  
• Use words likely to appear on a site with the information you want. Do not use superlatives, like 'innovative cost-effective membrane systems'.

Automatic 'and' Queries

By default, Aquatechtrade.com only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include 'and' between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will affect the search results.

Automatic Exclusion of Common Words

Aquatechtrade.com ignores common words and characters such as 'where' and 'how', as well as certain single digits and single letters, because they tend to slow down your search without improving the results.

Capitalization

Aquatechtrade.com searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for 'Treatment Methods', 'treatment methods', and 'TrEaTmEnT mEtHoDs' will all return the same results.

Search By Category

The Aquatechtrade.com Quick Search is a good place to start if you're not exactly sure which search keywords to use. Searching within a category of interest allows you to quickly narrow in on only the most relevant water industry companies to you.

Advanced Search

To border your query even more, you can use the listboxes in Advanced Search. You can select a specific country of residence, trading region, type of company, show exhibitor and/or type of products.
