Some help with our search facility ...
How To Search: Type a search with the words that you are looking for in the entry box, then click [Search].
Any Word:
Just type one or more words to find any of the words. [ Find ANY words ] is the usual default.
All Words:
Type more than one word and select [ Find ALL words ] to find all of the words.
Or you can use Booleans (see below).
Exact Phrase: "..."
You can search for exact phrases by surrounding them in double quotes.
Boolean Operators: + -
Use + in front of each word or a quoted phrase that you require.
Use - in front of each word that you want to exclude.
Boolean Expressions: AND OR NOT ( )
Use AND, OR, NOT, (, and ) to form a Boolean expression. AND requires, OR allows, NOT excludes.
Use double quotes to protect the words "and", "or", or "not" in a phrase.
Examples:
| QUERY |
Gets the documents with... |
| euro meridian |
'euro' or 'meridian' or both |
| "euro meridian" |
the phrase 'euro meridian' |
| +euro +meridian |
'euro' and 'meridian' |
| -euro +meridian |
'meridian' but not 'euro' |
| (euro OR meridian) AND NOT iD |
'euro' or 'meridian', and without 'iD' |
Capitalization doesn't matter. The ranked results will come from a total match on the words and phrases which you supply, so try to think of several specific terms for your topic and spell them correctly. It may help to include important plurals and derived words too, like [address addresses contact contacting information] .
