need help with search engine
 

hey guys ...i've been working hard on an assignment for a long time...but to no avail... im trying to find a long list of definitions to "building-terms" ...google isn't helping much..there too much unless information and people tyring to advertise. Anyone got any ideas on where i should poke my nose?

a few examples of what im looking for;
Bearing pressure of a foundation
braced frame
ultimate tensile state
distinguish between falsework and formwork


ive got about 15 of these....i would give out doubloons to those who are willing to lend a hand...but as you can see....i dont have much to give :(
hope my appreciation will suffice :p

You're using quotes around each expression, aren't you? If you just type the plain words into the search bar, it'll find documents with those words. But if you put them in quotes, it'll only turn up documents that have your matched expression.
