Search Tips
Adjacency	Multiple words are searched together as one phrase. Example : world health organization
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 : environment polic, comput*, wom?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)
Proximity Operators	Use "near" to specify words close to each other, in any order. Example : california near university
Field limits	A field limit causes the system to search only the specified field for the specified word(s).
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.
