Search

METEOR’s search works in a similar way to other search engines. You can use keywords or terms to pull up related content. The below tips are specific to METEOR and will help you to find what you need.

Try searching using either a keyword, specific term or METEOR ID number.

METEOR ID search

If you’re a returning user and know an item’s METEOR ID, you can enter it in the search box. Clicking the search icon will take you straight to the item’s page.

Autocomplete

METEOR will automatically display suggestions for search terms as you’re typing. This predictive text will show you METEOR entries that exist for the topic you’re searching on. You don’t have to use any of these suggestions, but they may make your searching process faster and easier.

Pressing ‘tab’ will select the top suggestion. Otherwise, selecting from the list of suggestions will put the suggested search term into the search box. You can then click the search icon to find related content. Clicking anywhere on the search results will take you to the item’s page.

Spelling correction

METEOR will show search results with spelling correction. Misspelled terms can still be selected for search where relevant.

Dropdown options

The drop-down menus directly below the search text box allow you to limit the search results to any of the 18 content types in METEOR (see Learn about metadata to view the list), by item creation dates, and item revision dates.

Content types

Content types allow you to limit your search to various metadata building blocks and other topic or help content found in METEOR. See Learn about metadata to view a list of metadata item types that you can search in METEOR. Searching on Topic pages will give results from METEOR’s ‘non-metadata’ pages which explain metadata, how it is managed, how to use METEOR, and how to develop metadata.

Searching on Help will give results from all the pop-up information boxes that are linked to each metadata item. The Help search looks through all text from the METEOR Business Rules, which is accessed through the small ‘i’ icon used throughout the site.

Created date and Revision date

The Created and Revision date dropdown options limit your search to when an item was created or last revised. METEOR will search any time by default, or you can select or specify a custom period.

Custom search syntax

METEOR uses Lucene search syntax. This functionality can be useful to fine-tune your search results even more. Some of the commands include:

  1. Restrict search to the titles of items by using Name: Searchterm. Note that it has to be written exactly as Name, with the capital N. Using name will not work. It doesn’t matter if there’s a space around the colon or not.
  2. Force a second term to be included by using AND.
  3. Widen your search to include another option using the term OR.

For example, if you’re looking for something with the word ‘baby’ in the title you would use Name: baby. METEOR will also give you results for the plural of the search term, so if you search on ‘baby’ you will also get results for ‘babies’. If looking for something with two terms (‘baby’ and ‘admission’) you would use Name: baby AND admission.

Sort by

You can also display your search results with a range of options in the Sort by drop-down menu on the right. You can sort on Relevance, Most/Least Recently Created, Most/Least Recently Updated, and Alphabetically (A–Z and Z–A).

Clear

The Clear button resets the Search page.

Filtering search results

You can fine-tune your search results using the filters that appear in the left-hand menu after searching any term. These filters are dynamic and will only display options specific to your search term, for example, only registration authorities relating to your search term will be displayed. You can use multiple filters at once.

Some of the filters change depending on your role within METEOR. If you are using METEOR without an account, you can search on metadata item type, public registration statuses, METEOR ID, and registration authority. You are also able to compare two items.

If you are using METEOR without an account, you will not be able to save bookmarks for items you’re interested in. There are also some non-public registration statuses that you won’t be able to see.

If you wish to save bookmarks, you can sign up for a free METEOR account easily, just follow the Sign up now prompts after clicking on the Sign In button. If you have an account, you will also be able to subscribe to notifications about changes to specific items in METEOR.

If you are logged in to METEOR as a metadata developer, or any other official role, there are some additional search options. You will be able to restrict your search to the full range of registration status options, including non-public statuses. You will also be able to save bookmarks and subscribe to notifications about changes to items.

Each search result has a small ‘hamburger’ icon on the right . This gives you download links for the metadata item as a PDF or a Word document.

National Healthcare Agreement: P01-Proportion of babies born with low birth weight, 2010 QS

392476 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Birth weight is included in the Perinatal National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) and data are complete for over 99.9% of babies. This measure only includes births of at least 20 weeks gestation or 400 grams birthweight. It excludes multiple births and babies with unknown birthweight and the measure may therefore differ slightly from information presented in other publications on low birthweight. Since 2005, all jurisdictions provide information on Indigenous status of the mother in accordance with t...

The Adult Vaccination Survey is a random, stratified, Computer Assisted Telephone Interview covering residential households in all parts of Australia. Only households with fixed-line telephones are included. Determining ‘fully vaccinated’ status is challenging because of the recommendations regarding initial and subsequent pneumococcal vaccination (which depend on an individual’s age and the age of initial vaccination (if any)). Given the recall period could be more than five years, this may aff...

National Healthcare Agreement: P10-Breast cancer screening rates, 2010 QS

392609 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Remoteness and socioeconomic status are based on postcode of residential address at the time of screening. These data are only available at the national level. Further breakdown by state and territory would give inaccurate results. Indigenous status data are only available at the national level as cells sizes are too small to provide meaningful comparison between jurisdictions.

Remoteness and socioeconomic status are based on postcode of residential address at the time of screening. These data are only available at the national level. Further breakdown by state and territory would give inaccurate results. Hysterectomy fractions are derived from the 2001 National Health Survey (NHS), and were validated in 2008 using data from the National Hospital Morbidity Database. Indigenous status is not collected by cervical cytology registers.

517754 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
This indicator estimates the incidence of acute coronary events from the National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD) and the National Mortality Database (NMD). It is an interim indicator while validation work is underway. The accuracy of the estimates is reliant on the accuracy and consistency of coding of the principal diagnosis and underlying cause of death in each jurisdiction. It also relies on the accuracy of coding of transfers to another acute hospital and of death in hospital. Variati...

National Healthcare Agreement: PI 10-Breast cancer screening rates, 2011 QS

447953 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Remoteness and socioeconomic status are based on postcode of residential address at the time of screening, not the location of screening. State/Territory disaggregation by remoteness and socioeconomic status is subject to data quality considerations. Indigenous status data are only available at the national level as cells sizes are too small to provide meaningful comparison between jurisdictions.

National Healthcare Agreement: PI 12-Bowel cancer screening rates, 2011 QS

447975 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
The suspension of the NBCSP due to a fault in the FOBT kit, and the subsequent remediation process, greatly affected the COAG participation rates for 2009 and should be taken into account when comparing to previous or future COAG data for this indicator. Participation rates were lower when measured against the estimated resident population because fewer people had an opportunity to participate as a result of: the suspension of the NBCSP between 2 May 2009 and 9 November 2009 during which no inv...

National Healthcare Agreement: PI 24-Survival of people diagnosed with notifiable cancers, 2015 QS

594854 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
The data used to calculate this indicator are accurate and of high quality. The mandatory reporting of cancers and deaths provide the most comprehensive data coverage possible. The most recent cancer incidence data available for the calculations were for the year 2009 for NSW and the ACT and 2011 for the other six states and territories. The lack of 2010 and 2011 incidence data for NSW and the ACT may lead to some inaccuracies in the figures presented.

National Healthcare Agreement: PI 44-Survival of people diagnosed with cancer, 2012 QS

500257 | Data Quality Statement | Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Data are currently only available from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) at the national level. To date this indicator has been produced by the AIHW irregularly, according to funded ad-hoc requests. The indicator cannot be reported by Indigenous status this year as Indigenous identification in the data is not adequate to support analysis or generation of life tables. The indicator as currently specified is not age adjusted which limits comparability across groups and over t...
