1. Search by Award Name: When you know the name of an award, but are not sure as to what period it falls under, e.g. you can search for "Order of Brilliant Jade", or "Order of Liberation"

2. Search by Period: When you want to look up all pages related to one time period, e.g. you can search for "Qing Dynasty", or simply "Qing"

3. Search by Person's Name: When you want to look up a person's name, whether a historical person or an author, e.g., you can search for "Yuan Shih Kai"

A search is recommended if you want to reach all pages which may be relevant to your questions. As there are a number of lengthy articles, you may be surprised to find relevant information in one even though the article's title may not look promising.  Please note that as this is a free search engine, search results from sponsors outside the site will be listed first--simply scroll down to view the returns from this site.
