Using The Search Box
The Search Box is an incredibly powerful tool, that will allow you to search for products, specific conditions and more generalised information. Simply type what you are looking for in the search box, and click return / go / search, depending on what device you are using.
If using a phone, you may simply need to click the spyglass icon to launch your search.
However, please remember that the search box isn’t infallable, so you may need to reframe your query to get the answers you are looking for. this is particularly true of specific conditions… so use variations on the same search term if your initial serach term doesn’t deliver any results.
For example: Detox / detoxify / detoxification / antioxidant / cleanse / weight / weight loss / etc…
Also note, that the word DETOXIFICATION is a product category, so always check the main navigational menu and the Shop By Category pages as well.
Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to use the search box to find any of the natural health articles on this website. The only way of doing this is by visiting the Health News page.
Shop By Category
The Shop By Category tabs within the main navigational menu allow you to narrow your product search very quickly. Either click on the link provided above, to see the list of main categories, or hover over the Shop By Category tab in the main navigational menu, to see the drop down menus appear. Certain items in the main main drop down menu, will also show you sub-category drop down menus, so you can refine your search more thoroughly.
For example: the Essential Oils Tab, has subcategory menu items:
Clicking on the Essential Oils Tab will deliver important general information, and will allow you to access the full range of essential oils in alphepetical order, including 226 essential oils options, [as at the time of writing]. All of the Wild As The Wind essential oil options are listed: Ethically Sourced Essential Oils, Organic Essential Oils, Wildcrafted Organic Essential Oils, Wildcrafted Essential Oils and Essential Oil Blends.
Find Via Product Pages
There are also product pages for most of the product categories, which provide broad brush information aboutthe Wild As The Wind Product Range. These can, again, be accessed via the main navigational menu.
Simply hover over the Products Tab in the main navigational menu, and select the subcategory item you are interested in.
For example, the Essential Oils Product Page tells you about the different types of Wild As The Wind Essential Oils, why we carry such an extensive range, and provides feedback about the quality of Wild As The Wind Essential Oils, etc. Most importantly the Essential Oils Product Page provides a list of every single Essential Oil in the range, with a link to the relevant product page. So, of course this page can easily be used to quickly access the products you are looking for, whilst viewing all of your options side by side.

Find Within A Document
Finding a word or phrase within a document is a very powerful tool, especially if the document in question is as long as Ultimate Guide To Carrier Oils, which is 20,000+ words long.
This article, amongst others, has been created with a view to quickly compare the benefits of different products / oils, by outlining the many benefits of carrier oils, and providing all the information you need to quickly understand & compare carrier oils with each other. The hope is, when using a resource like this, you can then make informed, individuated choices, with complete confidence, in no time at all.
However, unless you can effortlessly sort through this resource, by highlighting the information you need, the process will be onerous, to say the least.
All of this will change the moment you understand how to easily find specific words or phrases in a document, using search terms and keyboard shortcuts.
This next section explains how you can quickly and easily search for specific words within any online document, allowing you to research the specifics of an essential oil or carrier oil, etc, no matter what device you are using.
I will use the searches I often perform on the review page of products, as an example.
I commonly need to refer to the reviews for Facial Oil No. 2 and Facial Oil No. 8, when trying to find a particular review.
Facial Oil No. 2 has more than 80 reviews, so if I know the review I’m interested in contains the word ‘acne’ or ‘sleep’, then I can quickly zone in on the reviews that mention these terms. This of course, saves me huge amounts of time!
However, you may not be looking for a specific review, like I am. Instead, you may simply be interested in learning about the benefits of a product… For example, you may want to know if a product works well on wrinkles or scars.
Performing a quick find for the words wrinkle and scar on the Facial Oil No. 2 reviews page will currently give you these results:
- Wrinkle: 6 matches (all of which were plural)
- Scar: 11 matches (pairing with ‘scars’ and also ‘scarring’)
It’s always best to use the most simple form of the word, avoiding plurals etc. If you do this, the search will provide you with both the singular and plural results.
Zoning in on the specific words allows you to identify the reviews that discuss your specific areas of interest. If you have a particular condition, researching the reviews will hopefully provide you with an indication as to whether a product will be helpful for you personally, or not.
Say, for example, you have dry skin… you could then, just simply, search for the word dry. Or, if you have eczema, then your search term would, of course, be eczema. You would obtain the following results from the Facial Oil No. 2 page for these search words, at the time of publication.
- The term eczema appears 11 times in 85 reviews of Facial Oil No. 2
- The word dry shows up 23 times in various forms.
There are almost endless ways of using this function to refine your understanding of what you are researching.
For example, I have highlighted the types of words you can employ in your searches, in this wonderful Facial Oil No. 8 review, from Annie…
In just two weeks of using FACIAL OIL No 8 the improvement to my skin is really noticeable. The tone is more even, pores are refining, scarring is disappearing and sun damage is improving. After applying it to my face, I rub the residual into my hands. I had had papery skin and liver spots (too much gardening). Already the texture of my skin is so much more youthful and all but one of the liver spots have gone (that stubborn one is disappearing and I’m sure it will be gone soon). This product is amazing. I am so impressed I have just bought some for my daughter.
The terms papery and youth are not likely to deliver many results, so always try variations like crepey, young and plump, etc…
Sometimes it’s best to stick to the more obvious words such as skin or sensitive, searching for them independently of each other, rather than for sensitive skin as a whole. The more precise you search is, the less results you will get, and may mean that you won’t obtain the insights you desire. This, of course, will mean that the reviews which mention sensitive skin, but have phrased it as sensitive facial skin, or, sensitive, reactive skin will not show up. However, all of the results would show up if you search these words individually.
If there are much fewer reviews to search through, the incidence of unusual words will be a lot less, or may not show up at all. So, always try and use search words that people most commonly use to describe what you are looking for.
