Q. How do I search the ABS website?
A. The ABS website has over 365,000 pages and more than 120,000 downloadable files, and it's growing. To help you find information the ABS provides customised access to Google's search engine. Google searches through all of these pages for 'key words' and returns to you the most relevant documents found. To find out more about effective search techniques visit Help.
