| A Yahoo Pipes Search Product Search the GASB’s Website Click here to search the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)’s website, using your search terms. If you right click, a new window should open. Clicking will take you to a Yahoo Pipes page, at which you can enter terms, such as “pensions”, “fixed assets”, and "inventory”. Once a term (or terms) is entered, and you run the Pipe, the GASB’s website will be searched for information at the site containing the term (or terms) you use. Up to 20 results will be returned. Click on the results to get to the information. Yahoo’s search technology is being used to search the website. Generally, the major search engines’ search technology gives better results than the search engine being used at a website. |
