Finding a word across the whole site

Source: OIMAP General Secretariat.
Formulating your query
Enter one or more words in the search box. The engine ignores accents and case: "certification" and "Certification" give the same results. It also recognises plural and feminine forms.
To search for an exact phrase, place it in quotation marks, for example "directive 2019-07". To exclude a word, precede it with a minus sign.



Results
Results show the page title, an excerpt highlighting the words found, and the section path. They are ranked by relevance: a word in the title carries more weight than a word in the body text.
You can sort by update date when looking for recent information, for example the latest annual report or the next session of the General Assembly.
Filters
A section filter restricts the search to one area: Regulation, Certification, Member States, About… A content-type filter lets you keep only downloadable documents, FAQs or presentation pages.
Filters can be combined. If the number of results is too high, add a term or enable a filter; if there are none, remove a filter or try a synonym.
Searching for a reference
The engine recognises the format of OIMAP numbers, such as OIMAP-2026-004281. By entering this number, you reach the information page for the work or certificate if it is public. Detailed files remain reserved for their holder.
It also recognises references to texts, such as Directive No. 2019-07 on the authentication of cultural property, the 1970 UNESCO Convention or the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention.
