About PSearch Project

Goal

The goal of the PSearch Project is to make it easier to search for UCI People. It has a single input search box, which allows keyword queries on people name, UCInetID, telephone number, department, and title. It has the following features:

• Supports interactive search: search as you type;
• Allows minor errors in the keywords;
• Supports synonyms, e.g., "William = Bill", and "NACS = Network and Academic Computing Services";
• Allows multiple keywords.

We use the UCI Directory data provided by NACS.
