Suggestions: Since its debut in 1851, Expos are diverse in names in different eras and languages, only until recent years, the name of Expos has been settled to a unified and standardized one. Therefore, for readers who need to search for Expo documentation in the early stage, it is suggested to try the designations of Expo in multiple languages to get more results. In addition, since many events are using the same or similar names with Expos, readers should check the search results with the list of Expos to filter irrelevant information, guaranteeing the accuracy of the results.
