Search Tips
Adjacency Words can be searched as a phrase by enclosing them in double quotation marks.
Example : "art therapy"
Proximity Operators Words can be searched within a specified range of each other using proximity operators. Use a '~#' after an adjacency search, as above, to specify words within # words of each other, in any order.
Example : "art therapy"~5 [finds 'art' and 'therapy' within 5 words of each other]
Wildcards Words may be right-hand truncated using an asterisk. '*' for 1-5 characters, '**' for open-ended truncation, '?' to replace a single character anywhere within a word.
Examples : art* [finds arts, artists, artistic]
art** [finds artificial, artillery]
gentle*n
gentlem?n
Boolean Operators Use 'and' or 'or' to specify multiple words in any field, any order. Use 'and not' to exclude words.
Example : stocks and bonds
Example : (alaska or canada) and (adventure and not vacation)
Grouping Keyword search results are usually grouped by relevance to bring the most likely titles to the top of the list. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results are sorted within the group by date or title. To get an ungrouped result set, use boolean operators to form a complex query.
