Scrügy Search Help

Scrügy is the fastest and easiest way to find information about wine, wineries, appellations, wine bloggers and other winecentric information on the web. Our mission is to provide you with comprehensive and relevant search results.

Unlike general purpose search engines, Scrügy only searches the top wine sites so users receive precise and relevant results without having to sift through pages of unnecessary and unrelated results. Scrügy's search technology comprehends the words and phrases used in the wine world - for example, a search for "syrah" will also return results for "shiraz".

Queries

To search with Scrügy, just type in a few words.

  • Results only include pages that contain all of the query words.
  • Use quotes around words that must occur adjacently, as a phrase, e.g., "New Zealand".
  • Punctuation between words also triggers phrase matching. So searching for http://www.scrugy.com/ is the same as searching for "http www scrugy com".
  • Searches are not case-sensitive, so searching for ScRuGy is the same as searching for sCrUgY.
  • You can prohibit a term from resulting pages by putting a minus before it, e.g., searching for wine -california will find pages that discuss wine, but don't use the word "california".

Results

Each matching page in the results has the following links:

  • opens the link in a new browser window or tab
  • bookmarks the link and saves it in your My Bookmarks
  • shows a preview of the linked website without leaving the page
  • Cached displays the version of the page that Scrügy crawled
  • Report Link pops up a form that you can us to report inappropriate results
  • More from this site shows all results from a particular site
