Search help

The IRG Documents Database contains over 6,000 technical documents, guidelines, agendas, and reports produced by the International Research Group on Wood Protection since 1968. Here's how to find what you need.

Free-text search

Type any combination of document numbers, keywords, author names, or title words into the search box and press Search. Separate multiple terms with a space — results contain matches across title, authors, document number, keywords, abstract, conference and notes. Matching terms are highlighted in the results.

Filter by year

Use the Years chips on the search page to narrow the time range:

• All years — 1968 through today (default)
• Last 5 / Last 10 — rolling window from the current year
• Custom — reveals two inputs. Enter the same year in both to see documents from only that year.

Sort results

Use the Sort by segmented control:

• Relevance (default) — best match first, with a small boost for recent documents
• Newest / Oldest — by publication year
• Title A–Z — alphabetical by title
• Authors A–Z — alphabetical by author string

Browse by keyword, year, or author

The Publications by panel has three buttons that open the full list for each facet. Each browse page has a filter input so you can quickly narrow thousands of keywords or authors to just those matching a substring. Click any entry to run the corresponding search.

Non-English characters

Accented letters like č, å, ø, ü can be typed as-is or replaced with their Latin equivalent — both forms match:

• å = a
• ü = u
• ñ = n
• æ = ae
• ø = o
• č = c
