Keywords: The first few, collected informally
We are aware that users search for things to study using words that we don't 'know much about', which basically means it isn't the name of subject/major/degree we offer. We would like to return relevant results for these terms, especially where they are frequently searched for. In order to make improvements., I have created the following list, drawing on various sources (site search statistics, secondary school subject names, anecdotal feedback, etc). The first word/phrase on each line is the search term, the words after the colon are the subjects I propose we map to or surface in the results. In some cases I would also suggest a degree, unless we knew more about the request.
Feel free to add subjects to the existing keywords or add even more keywords. But please don't list a subject name as a keyword, as search already does this part quite well.
